How did NeXT fail? Apple bought them, and then released NeXT-based designs with Apple branding, down to the APIs! I only use a MacBook today because it's a NeXT derivative.
- zubairq 8y agoYes good point. Many people forget that all Apple stuff is really NeXT
- patrickg_zill 8y agoA "fully loaded and maxed out" NeXTStation Turbo was: 68040 at 33MHz 128MB RAM 4096 color, 1152x832 (or similar) display that could do Display PostScript and had a relatively complete Unix subsystem under the covers. The Turbo Cube (same CPU but with the 24/32 bit color NeXT display board) could do full color. Current minimum specs to be happy on MacOS: dual core 2+ghz CPU, 8GB RAM, SSD drives Failure or not of NeXT? Not sure.
