If this is on-schedule, I'd hate to see when we'd have gotten it if it was late :-) Seriously, you who have these machines, get on the horn. If you've got them set up, yet, and get get those drooling NeXT-lovers off of them. I've seen lots of it in pre-release format, but would like to hear how the actuality comes off. -- scott hess scott@gac.edu Independent NeXT Developer (Stuart) GAC Undergrad (Horrid. Simply Horrid.

Looks like I can take my foot out of my mouth now 8-) I'm still wondering how NeXT got hold of a bunch of 040 chips so soon. > 8:34 AM What sane person gets up this early 8-)

It is very fast. compiles of PowerStep go 2 to 3 times faster, the product (which was fairly snappy anyhow) really screams on the '040. For that matter, everything does. Even (GASP!) FrameMaker! Yes, the ultimate FrameMaker upgrade is an '040! It makes the product run at an acceptable speed! 8-) << BTW, Frame-Dudes your product is really cool, just kind of slow on the 030, no need to go berserk, make refrences to glass houses or get mad about any bloodthirsty comments again.... >> 8-) So Yes... It is reality. Bruce Henderson Ashton Potato "Not my idea"
