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.
