I just read in the wallstreet journal that HP will officially anounce it's
"proffesional workstation" today, one based on the same '040 the NeXT uses.
Interestingly, it will cost about the same as a station (and less than a cube)
(around $5000 I think it said) and HP has *already sold* 10,000 of these
babies!! Does anyone have any idea what they'll be running on that hardware?
If it's anything decent, this would appear to be BAD NEWS for NeXT (no?).
