Well, the documentation that costs the $395.00 w/o tax, is the developers
documentation.  This is all the actuall source code info, and such.  It goes
into wrtiting all the stuff(Interface Builder, Clock, Disk Builder, etc.) from
scratch.  This is what I wish to get for purposes of figuring out how hard
this will be to implement.  I believe the documents for $250 is just the book
that next mails to you, when they shipped the machine, plus some other manuals,
such as the guide to using the IB.  Actually I think its the prined versions
of the NeXT Manual pages, or just some other stuff.

By the way, has anyone had trouble with their hard drvies.  The second machine
I got, the Server one, w/660 HD, & 16MB, had a bum drive, and I had to replace 
it.  NeXT was cool about it, they even let me do it, by just sending me the drive, but alas, my boss wouldn't let me touch it, because he thought it might
invalidate the warranty (if their is one).
