Well, I was assured by my NeXT sales person that a) source would definitely be available (although I assume this wont actually include the NeXTStep magic, but would include Mach and its utilities). I have been told it will be shipping by the New Year, and I should have a copy by then. Before you cry that without the source to the windowing environment it would be useless, go back and read my previous posting re XWindows again. > I still might buy a slab if someone comes out with an affordable scsi optical > drive.
