I like reading about old OS' anyway here's things about NeXT:

I don't know if you are interested but to me it's interesting to see what they kept and what they changed.

additional URL (for it's nice shot of the file manager).

When I first got into skinning I used litestep, a shell originally based on this. Of course on linux there is windowmaker\afterstep which is based on it too. It's interesting to me that all versions of this OS from NeXT up to OSX have provided such inspiration for other interfaces.

NeXT was a very cool OS. So was Rhapsody/OS X Server 1. Not many people relize that there was another OS X before the OS X we all love and adore came on the seen. That OS X had many of NeXT's atributes and even icons.

I know because I have working copy of the DR2 build for x86. Thats wright I have a working although limited PC version of the first gen OS X. Now if we could just port the GUI for Rhapsody onto the x86 build of Darwin. Hey it would at least be a start.
