He expected that >back in mid-1980 (when he conceived of NEXT) there would be nothing like RISC. Can you support the claim that Jobs was thinking about the NeXT box in 1980? He didn't even take a look at the Macintosh until 1982 or thereabouts--when they wouldn't let him have the Lisa to screw with. As far as I know, the NeXT box was designed AFTER Jobs left Apple, in response to his published statement of intent for what his new company would work on. Certainly, being a marketing weenie and not a techie, he didn't have any hand in designing the hardware itself. Rich Alderson alderson@jessica.stanford.edu
