In view of the latest Blue Apple Initiative, which affects Motorola's effort in a major way, would anybody care to comment on the impacts of this alliance on NeXT, and on whatever moves to RISC are afoot? I am sure this would interest the whole readership of this group, but if anyone has anything to say on this, I would appreciate a direct e-mail message too, because netnews is anything but reliable around here. I guess we are too far removed from the real action, every link in the chain adds some incertitude... Thank you. -- William "Alain" Simon UUCP: alain@elevia.UUCP
