Perhaps, but the entry-level Mac II with a 20 MB drive and monitor cost about $5500. Which system was more capable is open to debate, but that wasn't my concern. I was hoping for an objective presentation of facts and observations about the evolution of what we now call the Cocoa framework, but the interview started off with a statement about the NeXT system that wasn't quite true.

But he probably remembered $7500 NeXT being much more value for money than the $5500 Mac II, and his mind translated it as "was a fraction of the price", even if it wasn't.
