Webster) On the other hand, I think the $995 vs. $2500 for developer version pricing is awfully hard to justify, especially since development centers on the Gnu gcc/gdb development tools (which are free). Ahem, I have to differ. They may be free of royalty, but NeXT has a compiler group working on them. If they were free to look after, I'd be out of a job! Also when you buy the developer version you're paying for support too. That costs something to provide.
