hello all

   in today's WSJ there is an article on NeXT about how it is gaining
   momentum in the industry and that it will have sales of about
   $50 million this quarter.

   it also mentions  possible problems concerning competitors who will
   introduce new and more powerful machines. (Sun and Silicon Graphics)
   also mentioned, as possible problems, the new aliances being formed
   by IBM, Apple, and Motorola; ACE ; and that NeXT is building its
   next computer around the 88k which "is not getting any support".

   the article mentions that NeXT beat Sun for an order by Los Angeles
   County Sheriff's department for 250 computers. Other big buyers include 
   Bozell Inc., Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency, and First
   National Bank of Chicago.
   
   thought you would like to know.
