Apparantly Steve Jobs is fond of glancing at people's products and
pronouncing "That's shit!". Well can I be the first to complain
that the online technical documentation supplied with 2.0 is shit?

I'm surprised no-one has pointed this out before, but there is NO
introductory developers documentation supplied with the system. So
here I am with my nice shiny new cube and state-of-the-art software
tools (NeXTStep, Interface Builder, Objective C, DSP) and I don't
know how to use it! What documentation there is is very low level.

Apparantly NeXT do have printed technical documentation in the
pipeline but it's not available yet and no-one knows when it will be.

So come on NeXT, pull your finger out. This is an appalling
omission in an otherwise excellent product.
