Wonders of Wikipedia

I found out that the first web browser, WorldWideWeb, came out on my birthday. WorldWideWeb was made by Tim Berners on a NEXTSTEP platform. NEXTSTEP was a Unix-based operating system that created the ideas of a dock, real-time scrolling and window dragging, and many others. The GUI for NEXTSTEP looked similar to WINDOWMAKER.

  • NeXTstep (I'm sure you know this already; but for those who don't) ran on the NeXT box from Steve Job's company (also named NeXT; he took the job after he left Apple).

  • I didn't know that. I did know that OPENSTEP, which came from NeXTSTEP, was used as a basis for Mac OS X.
