Has anyone received the 1.0 technical documentation yet? A few comments here have given me the impression that some people have receiived them. I haven't seen anything. Also, did everyone see the articles on Jobs and NeXT in the NYT last weekend, and in the Wall Street Journal last Thursday? Not exactly upbeat articles. $5000 for color? Is anyone else out there depressed? Or are we to trust that Jobs' optimism is genuine and well-founded? I think that it was the Wall Street article that described NeXT as having entered into a slump since last Fall. Is this perception widely shared? (No, I'm not trying to decide whether or not to buy one. It's too late for that. I'm trying to decide whether or not I've made a wise investment.) -- =============================================================== David Carpenter dcarpent@sjuphil.UUCP St. Joseph's University dcarpent@sjuphil.sju.edu Philadelphia, PA 19131 ST_JOSEPH@HVRFORD.BITNET

That is what was said by someone on bix yesterday. I think it is actually less than the original BusinessLand projections. Reportedly sales picked up considerably in December. Is $5000 really alot to ask for 32 bit color with heavy duty coprocessors? The monitor alone must cost at least $3500.00. I hope the $5000 is BusinessLand prices not eduactional prices.
