NeXT was started to build powerful hardware and software that would leapfrog the Mac (and everyone else on the market.) They eventually had to kill off the hardware line (after making some very nice, uber-high-end machines) but the software they made changed the industry. When Steve Jobs was ousted from Apple, he set out to create a new company that would deliver elite hardware, and a revolutionary operating system. I’ve been hankering to learn more about the origins of OS X, so I figured the best place to start would be the OS at its core - NextStep (later named OpenStep.)
