Very familiar, yup.

No turtle neck though.

Says everything is 'gorgeous' though.

Saw this a while back, funny how he pokes fun at DOS.

It's odd listening to him say his product is better than a mac.

Indeed.

Not knowing much about the history of NEXT, I'd say he did it when he got kicked out of Apple, just before Apple started dieing.

Yeah that's pretty much it. Left apple and started neXT to compete. Made it TOO good, in that it was just too expensive. There's some very good books all about the whole thing. I'm not once for reading books, and even I thought so !

It was at the time though, NeXT was just a less pretty version of some of today's Mac OSX. Think at the time Apple were still messing about with System 7.
