I have an idea. Here's how NeXT could generate some hacker enthusiasm
and programming on the NeXT, while doing something fun:
Maybe NeXT should have an informal contest for the best original
program on the NeXT, where the prize would be a NeXT system! By
entering the contest, the programmer allows his/her program to be
entered into the public domain, and with which NeXT could provide a
directory/disk of the best programs submitted (identifying the
authors, of course).
I'd like to see some hot video games on the NeXT, which show off its
sound capabilities, as well as its graphics.

By Yeah, the only problem is, for the most part, you would need a NeXT to enter the contest, so then what do you need with annother one??? one for each hand :-)?

Well, If you're in a University which owns NeXts, you can't
afford buying one, but you like the machine, you can use the
University's NeXts to enter the contest and then get your own
beloved box... That makes sense to me, not to you?

Well, most NeXTs that I know about are in universities, thus I would guess that a very large fraction of NeXT programmers do not own a NeXT themselves. -- Paul English Interleaf: pme@ileaf.com, ...!{sun!sunne,mit-eddie}!ileaf!pme UMass/Boston: pme@umb.edu, ...!harvard!umb!pme (umb has better email service)
