Actually, he said two things: 1) You can't run it on Intel platforms.
2) You can run it on Intel, but only on a loaded machine. As a
programmer, I dislike inconsistency in specifications. :-)
Seriously though, at this very second I'm running a 486-66 that is fully
capable of running NextStep, and I paid under $2000.00 for it. That's very
inexpensive for what you get out of the software. Of course, I don't
choose to run it, for other reasons, but that's irrelevent. :-)
