NeXT Cube: The Computer that the Web was Invented on
I am interested in the history of technology and I have a soft spot for the machines that became milestones in the history of computing. Recently, I had the opportunity to get an early NeXT Cube, the same computer that Tim Berners-Lee used to invent the World Wide Web! NeXT also happens to be the company that Steve Jobs founded after he got kicked out of Apple Computers. Although, for the longest time, it looked like NeXT would fail, it eventually sold to Apple to delivering the technology to develop the now very popular Mac OS X and bringing back it’s legendary founder as CEO. I also think Elisabeth managed to turn this into a very funny video. So with out further words…. press Play!

Neat. I haven’t heard anyone say the “World Wide Web” in a long time.
