NeXT Cube vs. NeXTcube
editThe NeXTcube and the NeXT Cube were two different computers, and Tim Berners-Lee used a NeXT Cube. Wikifan42 22:10, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
- Yes - the original NeXT workstation was officially the "NeXT Computer" and was only colloquially known as "the cube". Only the second-generation '040 system was actually called the "NeXTcube". Letdorf 09:31, 11 April 2007 (UTC).
- I agree with both of you (There is certainly a distinction between the two, even though they look similar and are easily mistaken for each other), and I think that the statement about the first http server currently on the page ("It is famous as the world's first Web Server, used by Sir Tim Berners-Lee at CERN to create the first web page on December 25th 1990.") should be removed immediately for inaccuracy. My understanding is that the first web page/web server was on Tim Berners-Lee's "NeXT Computer" and NOT a "NeXTcube". --208.214.101.206 (talk) 18:29, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

consolodate?
editIs the cube really sufficiently different from the next computer to warrant a seperate page? Considering how breif both pages are..they may as well be combined.

I will note myself that this page-per-model format is in keeping with other computer systems.
