Well, it doesn't look good for a NeXT BOF at USENIX...

It doesn't look like many NeXT users will be attending.  NeXT is not going
to have a presence (Avie will only be there for one day to teach his
tutorial).  And response has been underwhelming.

On the other hand, I would like to meet with other NeXT people.  I suggest
that instead of having an official NeXT BOF (official BOF -- an oxymoron?),
we have a NeXT BOF over dinner one of the nights (Wed or Thur would probably
be best for most people). 

I'll post a notice at USENIX giving the details.  And, just before we go, I
will audibly announce the event in a manner that every NeXT user will
recognize -- by making the shrieking scream that one makes when one is doing
many important things on a NeXT and the display server dies:-)

p.s.

	NeXT:

	It's still not too late for you to register on-site, bring down a few
	NeXTs, and get involved with your market on a technical basis.
