Technically NeXT doesn't need to, since developing an App on the NeXT will
make it run on NS 486. I can develop on my NeXT and run on NS 486. Fat
binaries, remember? If 3.0 is already equipped with fat binaries, I don;t
think so, but NS 486 will probably be 3.1 anyway.

The whole $69 devkit from NT is a very shrewd sales move. Instant market share
(look how many copies of NT I have sold....).
