So, to avoid starting any vicious rumors, The NYTimes article (verbatim quoted in my posting) was inaccurate in that Frog designed the sexy, black, magnesium case for the NeXT computer but *NOT* the >>>computer<<< "hardware". Whew! By the way, this article was primarily about fashion and design and not business or technology, so the confusion could be forgiven (but not overlooked :-). Note: ":-)" means levity as in laughs and smiles. And the 3 smiley faces in my original posting denoted much levity.
