You do know that MacOS predates NeXTSTEP, right?

  MacOS != macOS. MacOS (capital M, no space) is generally classic MacOS, 1984-2001. macOS (small m, no space) was formerly Mac OS X, later OS X, sometimes quoted as Mac OS (note, space between Mac and OS). MacOS: 1984-2001 Mac OS X (formerly NeXTstep): 2001-2012 OS X: 2012-2016 macOS: 2016 onwards.

    NeXTSTEP -> OPENSTEP -> Rhapsody. and macOS is still Mac OS X in places.

      If we're gonna be anal about it, it's NeXTStep -> NeXTSTEP -> NeXTstep -> NEXTSTEP. Likewise OpenStep -> OPENSTEP. But yes, by MacOS I had meant the original.
