After being let go from the company he helped found, Steve Jobs made his next move. Taking to Redwood City, California, Jobs created yet another computer company, NeXT. NeXT produced a PC OS and two generations of workstations, each of them an inky black contrast to the Snow White design scheme he chose for Apple. As a company NeXT saw little success and was ultimately eaten up by Apple as a prelude to Jobs’ return. The NeXT platform may be better known for what was done with it than for what it actually did: in 1991, Tim Berners-Lee used one to create the first web browser and web server.
