LOL.

Along those lines...  why did NeXT then-to-be OS X decide on Mach ? Anybody
know the history on this? I have always wondered 1) who decided to use
FreeBSD as the base OS (I'm guessing the licensing played a big part of the
decision) , 2) Why Mach, 3) Why Objective C. Not that I agree or disagree
with the choices just curious if the story of how/who chose these things
for NeXT and if this story ever went public anywhere...

Best,
Alex
