Talk:NeXT Computer

Untitled
give us some more information I am not aware of anyone ever referring to the NeXT as "NeXT Computer System" vs just NeXT or NeXT Computer, it would be cited as such somewhere, no? No. Also, the retail price is actually $9,999 and NOT the $6,500 listed. That discounted price is for Education customers only. The true commercial retail price at Businessland was $9,999.00 but often you had to buy a swap hard disk or other local hard disk storage costing more like 15K.

The NeXT's WebObjects was also used to create the first online food delivery, this is the origin story behind today's GrubHub according to their own info https://tedium.co/2019/03/07/internet-food-delivery-history/

NeXT was also the technology behind the very first web search engine, WebCrawler which indexed the web using NeXTSTEPs "IndexingKit", the engine behind NeXT famous Digital Librarian and periodically updated the index based on remote web data for the first time in history.

Was this the First RW CD on a Computer
I believe that this was the first commercial computer to be produced with a built-in Read/Write CD. does anyone have a reference for this? Also it's worth noting that the CD was very unreliable. OldCodger2 (talk) 04:25, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
 * To be pedantic, the NeXT used a MO drive, which was a different type of media to the later CD-RW drives. I believe it was the first application of the MO technology, but I don't have references to hand. Regards, Letdorf (talk) 22:25, 19 June 2012 (UTC).

October 2015 edits
The edits over the last few days have been adding interesting information, but have been unsourced and reference "spooky" information that an unspecified "we" are adding. Unfortunately, the state these edits are leaving the live article in is confusing and unencyclopedic. These edits need to be compiled in a sandbox, and presented whole into the article when complete. Given the nature of the information added, it should be reviewed by experienced editors before inclusion.  Scr ★ pIron IV 13:22, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

Issues
This article should be written in the PAST tense, consistent with every other article on Wikipedia about a long-obsolete computer such as the Three Rivers Computer Company "Perq" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PERQ

This article needs editing and is written in very bad style. For example, there is a lot of talk without any actual sources. Also many errors on it. I'm surprised that nobody has noticed this yet. Thedidac (talk) 21:05, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Actually, if you look above, you will find it has been questioned. Trouble was, the contributor in question was willing to edit war over it.  I was not.   Scr ★ pIron IV
