While I've dipped in and out of NeXTSTEP, studying it extensively, for the
last five years, even though I've ultimately settled on GNU/Linux, I still
find the whole NeXT/Apple thing very interesting.
I've some questions, which perhaps the list can help me settle.
0. Was it a merger? Did NeXT buy Apple? Did Apple buy NeXT?
1. What happened to Canon and Ross Perot in the resulting new Apple?
2. Did anyone ever use the Sun OpenStep offerings?
