i have a bunch of NeXT stuff on my backups somewhere, but the oldest files with a legitimate timestamp are from a backup of the G.R.E.A.T. Desktop environment from 1995.
from the README:
G.R.E.A.T Version 0.92

this is interesting, because it appears to be the first FOSS Desktop Environment. i used it on my grandmothers computer. unfortunately the sources appear to be lost. i was only able to find this binary release, and because of its historical value i am holding on to it for dear life.
