Hi,

MOTOROLA has been running ads on the 68040 for a while in PC-Week and other
PC magazines. The ads give the list of all the workstation manufacturers
who are seemingly going to use the 68040. The list covers two pages with some 
of the best known names in workstations. NEXT IS NOT THERE. 

This does not augur well of the commitment of NEXT to put out a version of the
Next with the 68040 any time soon. Does anybody know what is going on behind 
the scene?

Thanks,
Eric
