| | NeXT - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | NeXT was a computer company, known to the public for its series of futuristic computers, and to the programming world for its development platforms. | | | Even in the late 1980s this was starting to be a real problem, as the user needed to swap huge stacks of floppies to load the ever-growing applications. | | | The name of the company was changed to NeXT Computer Inc.. |

| | What makes a NeXT computer a NeXT computer |
| | We’ve built NeXT computers to handle even the most complex tasks efficiently, Rather than basing them on traditional PC or workstation architectures, we used a DMA architecture similar to that of mainframe computers (which are known for their superior system throughput.) The result is that NeXT computers offer exceptional system throughput and performance. | | | NeXT computers run on the UNIX operating system, which offers true multitasking and powerful networking capabilities. | | | NeXT computers can use a variety of external devices. |

| | NeXT Computer: when cool wasn't enough - vnunet.com |
| | NeXT was a high-profile disaster, a computer system that the world admired but wouldn't buy. | | | When the NeXT Computer was launched in 1988 Jobs believed it would change the world of computing. | | | The end of the NeXT computer did not mean the end of NeXT the company, which continued in the software business. |

| | Engineering and physics team to bulid next-generation computer |
| | Where a classical computer uses an on or off state to represent bits of information in the "zeros" and "ones" of binary code, a quantum computer uses the superposition as quantum bits, or qubits. | | | A quantum computer would use these dots to take advantage of a quantum phenomenon known as superposition, in which, for example, an electron would have its spin state both up and down at the same time. | | | Creating this elemental piece of a quantum computer will be an achievement in itself, but it is the team's approach that is most significant. |

| | Steve Jobs & the NeXT Big Thing |
| | As histories are written about the births, lives, and deaths of computer companies during the early computer age, one of the most interesting stories could be the short life of NeXT Computers. | | | Jobs was one of the wunderkind founders of Apple Computer in the late '70s. | | | Despite all the capital investments and despite the potential of the NeXT computer, the system was "yesterday's technology tomorrow for twice the price." It was too expensive for the college market, priced at about $4,000 a cube. |

| | Gelernter is referring to the "desktop metaphor"-the term frequently used for the hierarchical system of files, folders and icons that we use to manage information stored on our home or office computers. | | | Scopeware is far more sweeping than a simple rearrangement of icons, however: in effect, it transfers the role of file clerk from you to the computer, seamlessly ordering documents of all sorts into convenient, time-stamped files. | | | Indeed, the product that brought the metaphor to mass-market attention was Apple Computer's 1984 Macintosh; it had no built-in hard drive, and its floppy disks each stored only 400 kilobytes of information. |
