Subject: A-Max for the NeXT?
Newsgroups: comp.sys.next 

I would like to know if a product like A-Max for the Amiga would be possible
on the NeXT.  I think that a NeXT and this product would make it possible for
NeXT to take away much more of Apple's market share.  Imagine a machine with
the power of the NeXT AND the 1000's of macintosh applications available.  I
know the Amiga version of this product costs less than $200, but you must
purchase a legal set of 128k mac ROMs which seem to be readily available.
This would make an 040 pseudo-mac less than $4000.00.  I am very unfamiliar
with NeXT programing, but from what I've heard, the development time is far
less than other platforms.
 
Opinions?
