Excerpt from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NeXTSTEP: =============== NEXTSTEP is the original object-oriented, multitasking operating system that NeXT Computer, Inc. developed to run on its proprietary NeXT computers (informally known as "black boxes"). NeXTSTEP 1.0 was released on 18 September 1989 after several previews starting in 1986, and the last release 3.3 in early 1995, by which time it ran not only on Motorola 68000 family processors (specifically the original black boxes), but also generic IBM compatible x86/Intel, Sun SPARC, and HP PA-RISC. About the time of the 3.2 release NeXT teamed up with Sun Microsystems to develop OpenStep, a cross-platform standard and implementation (for Sun Solaris, Microsoft Windows, and NeXT's version of the Mach kernel) based on NEXTSTEP 3.2. =============== I believe OS X is based on NextStep. I also have the impression that Next Step ran on the Intel processor, thus the relatively easy transition of OS X to the intel architecture. -- Enric -======- http://www.cirne.com Determine Media > > On 1/6/06, Joshua Paul <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Are there NeXTsteppers here? > > On Jan 5, 2006, at 1:00 PM, [email protected] wrote: > > > > Date: Thu, 05 Jan 2006 14:32:12 -0600 > > > > From: Pete Prodoehl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > > Subject: Re: Pay Per View Video Coming From Google > > > > > > Michael Sullivan wrote: > > > > next - googleOS > > > > > > Google - NeXT OS > > > > > > Pete > > > > > > > > ------------------------------ > > YAHOO!
