thrilled by the factory that was used to produce Macintosh — he wanted to do even better this time with NeXT. He set up to build the most advanced automated factory in
|
|
the world, in Fremont, not too far from the Mac factory itself. The NeXT computers would be built untouched by human hands, using robots
|
|
operated by other NeXT computers. The factory was designed to mass produce NeXT Cubes and bring the costs down with volume... a disastrous
|
|
choice for the future.

And finally, the design of the machine, of course, had to be a stunner as well. Steve hired frogdesign again, the same firm that had designed
|
|
Macintosh, and they came up with a perfect black cube built out of magnesium. Although the Cube clearly deserved its place at the SF MOMA,
|
|
many of its features made it a pain to build: from the perfect right angles to its materials to its color, it was extremely complicated — and expensive —
|
|
to put together. In addition, Steve had made a point on also designing a “beautiful” board for the Cube.
