How do you become a NeXT developer? Just ask! That's the easy part. The
hard part is taking a week off of work and going to San Jose to take the
"developer's conference". Though I see the reasoning behind NeXT's decision
to force developer's to take this conference, it has had the added 
benefit of forcing me to not purchase a system. I can't take the time 
to go to the developer's conference, and I can't afford the developers
conference. Needless to say, I can't purchase a system to play with either.
It's not much skin off of my nose, as I decided to buy a nice COLOR 
Silicon Graphics system (for those and other reasons, obviously...). I 
would still LOVE to buy a NeXT at the developer's price, but since I 
can't go to the developer's conference I can't get the developer's price (
even though I would eventually be developing software on the NeXT...)

I have a developer's "number", but since I didn't rush right out and
fly to San Jose the month they sent out my "number" I have apparently 
been dropped from the mailing list. I sure would like to get information
from the horses mouth... Oh well! 
 
Everyone is waiting untill after September anyway... ;-)
