[comp.sys.mac] NeXT & IBM

felix@AI.SRI.COM (Francois Felix INGRAND) (09/14/88)

Have you read the NYT this morning (business section)?

IBM paid 10 Million $ (yes 10,000,000 $) for the right to use the NeXT machine
User Interface... 

Must be a pretty good User Interface for this price... 

Anyway, according to the article, the machine (NeXT) will be presented the 12th
of October... 

Only one month to wait...

Actually this seems quite cheap, considering the potential volume of
sales (zillions and zillions... :-)
