Further evidence that I'm putting the history into my computer history hobby: to write a few sentences about the NeXTstation and NEXTSTEP for , I don't trust online summaries, so I'm like "I might as well reread the NeXT book from the start again."

(It helps that I need something to read to calm down before bed.)

@CodingItWrong any NeXT history books you could recommend?

@vga256 this one is good. The author is definitely unashamedly critical of Jobs, so I had to set that aside a bit, but it's good historical detail. Interestingly it was written just after they got out of the hardware business, a few years before the Apple question
