anybody:
Gee..I know this really isnt the place for somebody with this question,
but I on't really think there is a comp.sys.Next. Does anybody know where
I can get information on becoming a registered developer for the Next machine?
Next sounds like what the Amiga 3000 should have been and with the University
discount only $3600. If you need info on Next check out the latest issue
of INFOworld. I just eed their address or phone # or net path. Thanx
Sorry for infiltrating this discussion but I am an Amiga owner too. It just
seems that Amy is hitting an evolutionary dead end. But I love my 1000 and
mourn for its impending orphanhood.

Someone on news.groups just did a rather rushed job of proposing the creation of comp.sys.next; I sent him mail indicating he should probably post the proposal to the various comp.sys.* newsgroups. Well, if he does, and it succeeds, there should be a comp.sys.next by end of October. It might be a good idea to keep NeXT related discussions in comp.sys.misc until then... I hate to see trade rag rumors all over the net, in every comp.sys newsgroup. >It just seems that Amy is hitting an evolutionary dead end. Hardly so... The Amiga can learn and adapt easily; compare today's 2000 (and all the available options) to the 1000 two years ago... Let's just hope Commodore, the company, doesn't hit any dead ends (it doesn't seem like they plan to, at the moment... Seems like 1.3 will indeed be hitting the dealer shelves in a few days. Yeah! (I was wondering which would come first, the NeXT Intro, or 1.3.)) Ali Ozer, aozer@NeXT.com

I have it on reasonably good authority, that the first nExt developers, i.e. the people currently doing stuff for the release, were by invitation only. NeXT will not consider unsolicited outside developers until after the machine is out. I bet Ali Ozer just loves all of these rumors. "Our machine is supposed to do that??

Ali:
To actually document why the amiga is hitting an evolutionary dead end
I have only to point to its source of energy .."Commodore". Any company
that would take such a beautiful machine and screw it up marketwise willj
have its days numbered. Dont get me wrong...I love my amiga, but without
serious financial backing and marketing Im afraid its curtains for all but
really dedicated game fans.
