My graduation thesis was porting a visualisation framework from Objective-C/NeXTSTEP into C++/Windows 95, because my supervisor wanted a way out for his research.

His cube was collecting dust on the office corner.

This is how much hope people had on NeXT before the Apple deal came to be.

I wrote my thesis on a NeXT with latex2e , in my case about adding explicit parallelism constructs to SetL and dynamically load balancing shared memory multiprocessing to the associated runtime. There's evidently two of us!
