Newsgroups: comp.sys.next.announce From: cgeiger@NeXT.COM Subject: 2.X and 3.0 -> 3.1 NEXTSTEP Upgrade Approved: sanguish@digifix.com Hello NeXT and NeXTSTEP User Groups, I thought that this below might be of interest to current NeXT owners in North America: Conrad Geiger International NEXTSTEP User Groups _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Dear current North American NeXT computer users, If you are interested in upgrading your NeXT computer from NEXTSTEP 2.X or 3.0 to 3.1, call 1-800-TRY-NeXT today and leave your name and phone number. You will be called back after May 25th to collect further information and schedule delivery of your NEXTSTEP upgrade to 3.1. For current owners of 3.0, you can upgrade NEXTSTEP, the user system, for $75 per computer. This includes full user documentation and media. If you have multiple computers, you can purchase additional right-to-use licenses (no documentation or media) for $49. The development tools, NEXTSTEP Developer, are now a separate product. If you are a current owner of 3.0 and would like to use NEXT's development tools (Interface Builder, DBKit, and so on), you must purchase a NEXTSTEP and a NEXTSTEP Developer upgrade. The NEXTSTEP Developer upgrade is currently available at a promotional price of $99 for each computer. For owners of 2.x systems, you can upgrade to NEXTSTEP for $495 per computer and NEXTSTEP Developer for $495 per computer. If you are thinking about upgrading to 3.1 from 2.x, you can save a little money by purchasing the 3.0 upgrade now ($295), and then purchasing the 3.0 to 3.1 upgrades described above. Note that the 2.x to 3.0 upgrade will only be available for a limited time and will be phased out once NeXT has begun shipping 3.1. Purchasing these upgrades will entitle you to a free upgrade to the next release, 3.2. Release 3.2 is planned for late in 1993. These upgrade products and prices are for NeXT computers only; they will not work on PCs. You must purchase different products if you would like to run NEXTSTEP on 486 and Intel Pentium processors. Your upgrade should be scheduled for delivery within 30 days of the product introduction on May 25.
