  I heard that every employee at NeXT ahd a FAX of infoworlds article
about the prototype 88110 board running at 50 to 60 MIPS waiting for
them at work today, along with an "interesting" e-mail message.
  I would think that this means he rumors are true, but until NeXT
says so, it's still just a rumor.

  On another note.  I talked with a local NeXT person today, and
although NeXT has not said anything one way or another about this, I
now believe all of you slab owners will have no trouble upgrading
your computers when the next round of upgrades hits.  
  NeXT believs in the path to upgrades, and while it wont be as
simple an operation as in the cube, it wont be that much harder.
  Never fear slab owners, you will be able to upgrade.
