The technical manuals are well worth the $250. They contain a lot of
material that is useful even if I don't get accepted in the NeXT developer
program. You get a few Objective C manuals (including a short tutorial)
and Display Postscript manuals (you still need the red/blue/green books).

The only problem with the technical documentation is that along with the 0.9
books they sent me a registration card. I immediately filled it up and decided
to mail it _soon_. Of course I lost the card before I mailed it. Now I'm
worried if I'll ever get the 1.0 manuals. I find it funny that after sending
$250 and receiving two sets of manuals (0.8 and 0.9) NeXT still wants me to
tell them what my address is... Anyone from NeXT care to comment?
