Ten Most Wanted
No bagged items this month, but a hubbub of activity at NeXT bodes well for near future. "NS 4.0 feature set" became "product road map" among signs of interim releases with new technologies. Old favorites "expanded marketing message" and "aggressive IHV marketing" slipped out of top ten with focus on near-term results.
