Can anyone out there give a review of the latest issue of
the BCS (Boston Computer Society) NeXT Newsletter, ``WhAT's NeXT?'' ?

I got a complementary copy of their first issue two months ago, but
their was little of substance in it, due to a lack of Cubes.
[Specifically, they described a few peripheral features of the 
machine---the T-shirt, the mouse cord, the screwdriver, the black hole,
etc---and speculated about the future of color on the Cube (look for
Renderman as the 3-D scene discription language, due to NeXT's relation
with Job's other company, Pixar).]

Anyone care to comment on related matters, like the BCS NeXT User Group
(probably a pretty small group at the moment) or the BCS NeXT bulletin
Board? Are these useful things for a user to belong to ? Any general
comments on BCS?
