For those who may not know, NeXT was founded by Steve Jobs after he left Apple. After Apple bought the company and brought Steve back, the NeXTStep/OpenSTEP operating system became the basis of Mac OS X which had many similar features (postscript display, Mach and BSD core, etc.) which are now also found in iOS.
I always find it fascinating how even today, the systems we use to access and power the Internet can be traced back to those used by the people who designed the Internet, the Web and the associated technologies - MacOS/iOS on NeXT, Linux/Android on UNIX, Windows on VMS.
