Though it really was not that important for another couple of years until there was no portable roadmap for G5 from IBM. Nice to see some oldtimers posting some comments there. What it doesn't go into is all the bad blood between the NeXT, A/UX, and Classic OS groups (JK and Sokol were long time Apple Unix guys). When things got bad in the late 90's, a lot of good people lost their jobs because they couldn't find a place to go when their groups were disbanded. The thing you figured out at Apple early is if you were going to survive, you had to be looking for your next gig inside the company. Some times groups got to stay together to do the next generation of product, sometimes not. The thing that was destroyed when Steve came back was the ability to network to do this because of all the secrecy. It has gotten a LOT worse since I left. Franky, I pity the people there now. It is not a nice place to work and is not somewhere I would ever consider going back to.
