Steve Jobs started NeXT when he left Apple in 1985. NeXT initially made computers and developed software, Tim Berners-Lee used a NeXT computer when he was developing his ideas that would become the World Wide Web, but in 1993 NeXT stopped making computers and became a software company. They had developed the NeXTSTEP operating system and the OpenStep programming environment. By the mid 1990s Apple was looking for a replacement for their Mac OS which they had been developing since 1984 but was not particularly suited to the expanding needs of computer users and the increasing use of Internet. In 1996 Apple purchased NeXT for $429 million. This allowed them to use the NeXTSTEP operating system as the basis for their own Mac OS X which first appeared as a Server system in 1999 and in a consumer version in 2001. The purchase of NeXT also brought Steve Jobs back to Apple; initially as a consultant and becoming CEO in 2000.
