BYTE magazine arrived in the mail yesterday.  NeXT is on the cover, and the
article answers most of the questions asked here.  I'm sure much of the
rest of the industry press will shortly supply more facts about NeXT.
(Now I can Kill this subject...)

(Oh, you want some answers?  The present version of NeXT Mach crashes when
the disk is removed, but the next version should at least allow copying.  All
the logic is on the CPU board, and future O/S versions will allow
multiprocessing.  A second optical drive is <$1,500.)
