Steve Jobs unveiled the NeXT Computer on this day in 1988 — 'The Cube' would be used to develop the WWW, Doom, and Quake

In 1988, Steve Jobs introduced the NeXT Computer, known as 'The Cube,' which despite not being a commercial hit, influenced personal computing. The computer featured a DSP and impressive hardware like a Motorola 68030 processor and NeXTSTEP OS. NeXT Computers were used by Tim Berners-Lee to develop the WWW and by id Software for games like Doom and Quake. Apple's success post-Jobs' return in the late 90s was built on NeXT's DNA, evident in modern Apple products like macOS and iOS. The NeXT Computer's impact on technology is still felt today.
