OBJECT DEMO DAYS: TEST THE TECHNOLOGY

NeXT kicks-off two-month seminar program in North America

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--April 18, 1995--Many companies claim to have real,
reusable, developer "objects," but few are delivering them. For that
reason, NeXT Computer, Inc. is offering information technology executives
the chance to see Real Objects -- Right Now.

Beginning May 9, NeXT will deliver free, half-day "Object Demo Days" in
major North American cities. Geared toward CIOs, information system
managers and developers, the seminars will provide a basic overview of
object-oriented technology and its benefits to developer and end-user
productivity.

Attendees will see a demonstration of Next's award-winning
NEXTSTEP/OpenStep environment. They will also preview Next's
newly-released Enterprise Objects Framework (EOF) which offers a bridge
between objects and relational databases; and Portable Distributed Objects
(PDO) which extends the object model enabling the deployment of
server-based objects to non-NEXTSTEP environments including Sun, HP and
Digital operating systems. Attendees will also learn how this powerful
technology will make its way to the computer mainstream with the
introduction of OpenStep for Windows 95 and Windows NT.

Overview of Seminar

From 9 a.m. to noon, executives will receive an introduction to
object-oriented technology, including the benefits of object-oriented
development versus traditional development tools, and see a demonstration
of NEXTSTEP/OpenStep. Participants will also have the opportunity to "test
drive" NEXTSTEP/OpenStep. At certain locations, partners and Systems
Integraters will be on hand to demonstrate third-party solutions.

With documented case studies from major corporations such as MCI, Skyway
Freight and Pan Canadian, IT executives will gain important insights into
the many ways object-oriented technology saves time and money, and allows
for the rapid deployment of new products and services.

"The seminar program is an honest look at the state of object technology
today. It is designed to be interactive and to help those exploring object
technology sift through all of the hype," said Martin Yam, vice president
of sales and marketing at NeXT Computer, Inc. "We encourage all IT
executives to attend."

Seminars will be held in Chicago (May 9); Toronto (May 11); Washington D.C.
