They're dropping them now in favor of NextStep^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^hRhapsody. *Never* understimate how fickle this industry is -- imagine Apple selling *UNIX* systems, and from *IBM* no less. I guess this is "the enemy of my enemy (M$) is my friend" theory at work. I really love this Apple/Next merger - Apple is now essentially a UNIX workstation vendor! ;^) -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
