I am a 'registered' developer but there is about zero chance for me to cut a week long hole in my allready over-burdoned schedule, cough up air fare, meals and hotel accomidations for a week (out of my own pocket), AND also be able to purchase a NeXT. I realize that I will no doubt save a billion hours by getting proper training, but I just flat CAN'T AFFORD the time and expense. Is there still a way to get the 'developers' price on a NeXT w/o going to the 'developers' conference?? I REALLY REALLY want to get one and play with it. I may even port our product to it. Is there any help for me? Besides I'd kinda like to get one before NeXT goes belly up ;-) I think it would look really cool next to my SGI! tima@agora.hf.intel.com PS: I allready know all the reasons WHY this exists this way, so don't waste time telling me.

Or, become a student at a university with a NeXT agreement in place (though I'm not sure what restrictions there may be on using a machine purchased for educational use for commercial gain). Then hover around the NeXT campus consultant till you pick up what you need :-). (Our CC's might not appreciate that suggestion, but they ARE very helpful!) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Walter C.
