NeXT Computer

My most embarrassing moment that I'm willing to talk about on film was in CS547 in about 1993 when I fell asleep when this guy from Switzerland, a guy named Robert Kelly, who brought this ridiculous box.

It was this big black box that was called the Next Computer, which is where Steve Jobs went after Apple.

And he did this demo of this thing called a web page, and I fell asleep while he was doing it.

And it was in, it was in Skilling Auditorium, and I just didn't get it.

Story 5 of 5.

Behind the scenes at the Next computer office.

Doug Menuez's photographs from inside Next, the computer company Steve Jobs started after leaving Apple, resurfaced yesterday from Stanford's online archive, more than three decades after he took them.

Menuez shot the company in black and white, and the archive shows each picture with a short caption.

The General Magic veteran called Jobs a sales guy, a charismatic visionary, and an abusive cult leader all at once.

Deeply flawed, but far more than only a sales guy.

That was behind the scenes at the Next computer office.
