- joezydeco 5mo agoWe really should thank Marcia Lucas for agreeing to split up with George.
- pjmlp 5mo agoIf you read books like the one mentioned above, even if biased, you will see that he did not do pretty well with NeXT, it was actually a mess. Outside the impressive hardware and NeXTSTEP, NeXT was bleeding most of the time, had it not been for a few generous VCs that had Steve Jobs in high regard, NeXT would not have survived until the moment of Apple's acquisition proposal.
- robotresearcher 5mo ago> did not do pretty well with NeXT Having your company acquired by Apple, having them base vital parts of their business on your technology, and having your leadership merged into theirs could be seen as a successful outcome. Did the NeXT investors make out OK?
- pjmlp 5mo agoOut of sheer luck, BeOS could have been the lucky one instead. Those VCs had enough money for us to worry about them.
