In an industry where what-have-you-done-lately is the norm, you might be hard pressed to find someone who remembers NeXT, the company founded by Steve Jobs in the mid-1980s before his triumphant return to Apple.

Its experience with NeXT allowed the Seattle-based firm to transform itself from a band of consulting programmers into a software house that today produces 10 Mac apps.
