I love him. I was also impressed that even though he had a role in creating Bohemian Rhapsody he allowed Freddie Mercury to take all the credit for many of May’s innovations, such as the clapping rhythms and sounds.
Wasn’t sure where to put this…
I always thought it was 1541 and 1571.
Nope, look at the font. 1 and I agree clearly different.
Right-- but manuals are often a good indication of internal parlance. What did Commodore call it? The manuals say “1541, 1570, and 1571”-- and the original typography seems rather unambiguous. Wikipedia will simply repeat what others remember (or misremember)
Now-- if only there was an unambiguous way to decide between Next and NeXT. I’m willing to believe it’s Next, but boy oh boy did its programmers adore camel case.
I was told it was NeXT because the machine was the next XT.
This may be the first time I’ve seen it as Next.
It’s clear someone at Commodore was a very clever, and patient, troll.
yeah, looking at the documentation-- even the early stuff, it clearly says “NeXT”.

here’s some stuff on Paul Rand’s design approach.
Wow. That is fascinating. I cannot imagine what that must have been like for him.
Not to be confused with Rand Paul

Y’know, I was in the gifted programme for part of my education (depended on funding and how much my teacher liked me), and I still think they’re BS. And this is why – all knowledge and ego boosting, no ethics.
