Well, it’s more like "Jobs helped create a computer that was wildly overpriced and never really commercially successful, but was used as a workstation in some labs and universities here and there.
No, it’s more like what I said in the first place. Jobs helped to create a computer that was used to launch the Web. That’s impressive in its own right.
Commercial success isn’t the only kind of success in my point of view, but you may think differently. Helping to change the world in ways that go beyond a mere bottom line strike me as success on quite another level. And, that’s why some of you are so befuddled with Steve Jobs’ popularity to this day.
Apple had even developed its own flavor of UNIX (A/UX) years prior to acquiring NeXT’s assets
Does that somehow downplay the accomplishments of the NeXT implementation or are you just trying to express some sort of butthurt you have with Steve Jobs? Haha…
