That's what I intend to do. (Take a look at my .signature) I just hope
that the NeXT registered developer program will accept me and that I can
afford to join it. I know I can afford a NeXT, but I'm not sure that
I'll have money left after buying a complete system & documentation.

The Macintosh is getting old the same way the PC was getting old when
the Macintosh came out. Unless the completely rewritten Mac OS is really
good, we'll probably keep seeing a lot of ROM patches & buggy system
software releases. You just can't keep enhancing an old product without
introducing some new bugs.
