1997: Steve Jobs joins Apple's board after the NeXT acquisition.
- rbanffy 16y agoActually, it would be correct to say NeXT acquired Apple for minus USD 424M and renamed itself Apple.
- danielvnzla 16y agoAgreed. Regardless of who acquired who on paper, the NeXT acquisition catapulted Apple from being just an interesting entry in history books (like Gulf Oil) to one of the writers of history (like Standard Oil).
