Steve Jobs’ NeXT Inc says that with sales of its second generation machines set to come out at $45m to $50m for the quarter just ending, it is on target for sales of $200m for the year, despite the disappointment that IBM Corp has not moved since it paid some $10m for a licence to the first version of the NeXTStep graphical front-end software – and has not even licensed the new version of the software; according to the Wall Street Journal, NeXT is designing future boxes around the Motorola Inc 88000 RISC, which may or may not figure in Apple Computer Inc’s future plans.
