Hmm, Max and the web were created on NeXTSTEP because it was such a great

My information comes from sitting at One Infinite Loop with the heads of QT, Graphics and Imaging, etc during the transition from QT to QTKit.  I was also there the week all of those people were displaced to make room for the iPhone team on campus.  It was not a subtle hint where things were going.
