My connection is perfect, the only missing ingredient is you and Justin
and Elmo haven't heard Tim "in his own words" explain why "Interface
Builder" lead to the creation of "www.app". Until you hear it in his
voice, you just won't understand this important part of computing
history.

No, NeXT was never the "inspiration", it was just the first "modern
TOOL" to allow Tim's childhood exposure to "Enquire" to become a reality.

-- Enquire was a name from a book written in 1858 that inspired
Berners-Lee: "Inquire Within: Anything You Want To Know."
