Very little remains of Steve Jobs’ NeXT, except that it is the reason Apple survives and is how the web began. Here’s the peculiar story of the company Jobs formed after leaving Apple on September 12, 1985.

It would be at least days before it had a name, weeks before it had premises other than Jobs’s home and months before it was incorporated. However, September 12, 1985 was the day Jobs told Apple’s board of directors about it.
