   a) Looking like NeXT is going under?  On what fact do you base this 
     judgement?

   b) For the 3000UX, Commodore is in the workstation and upgraded personnal
      Unix computer markets (home).  Not quite the NeXT market (higher 
      education).

      If Commodore market the 3000UX as a home Unix Workstation, they can
      survive.  If they develop a multimedia Unix workstation, (with 
      a Unix Video Toaster for instance) they certainly have a lead.
      If they compete against Sun, they have problems...

    It's working right now.  You just plug the "Toaster Computer" to your
Mac serial port.  In two years you'll read in Mac World: Apple invented 
multimedia, and created the Toaster :-).
