Look Back: The NeXTstation is a 9-page HTMLified
rendition of an advertisement for the NeXTstation

software-only. The slab-shaped,
magnesium-encased, 68040-based unit was, and is, a
thing of beauty, indeed. And the latest version
of its OS is known as "MacOS X Server," and is the
basis for almost all of the forthcoming Mac OS X core.
