But of course NeXT was the real Apple when Apple was under corporate domination. About the only thing that's still there, reminiscing from the old Mac, is the Menu Bar. For all the documents related to NeXT, you bet I will put them on line. Outside of my own writings, I also have, like you, many documents from NeXT or about NeXT. Including the Paul Rand's booklet about the NeXT logo. I will put all that on line of course. Nice collection of your's by the way!

Nice to see someone with your history getting into the fray. Isn't it funny how iPhone/iPad are descendants of NeXT? For some history, look here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gctwnl/sets/72157622973369487/ (could not get this in the web site field of your site) You should put the old MiCMAC's about NeXT online, just for the fun of it.

My mom doesn't use computers, and even with a mac, I'm afraid of her getting lost in the complexity of one, or breaking something. An iPad is a device she can completely understand the UI of, and can use without any danger of breaking the software. It's perfect for her, and for many other people, in a way no computer has ever been. What JM said is basically it.

That means they don't want to buy a newest PC again! And also that their computers are dead slow. But an iPad… I hope that Apple can buid enough of them. They will sell like hot cakes!

When I first saw the first pictures and the use of the interface I thought it was THE device for my mother that never touched and used a computer (but have an iMac ready to use) and my aunt that use a mac every day but call me sometimes because she's lost with some parts of interface (network, email config) or lost on the web. When they look at my son using an iPhone so easily they know it's MORE easy to USE. So true.
