True. The capitalisation rules for releases kills me every time too. Not just with OpenStep but with Next too. I now don’t even bother trying to get the capitalisation correct.

Considering how obsessed with UX that Jobs was, I don’t get how he thought the naming conventions were a good idea.

I believe it all came after Paul Rand did the logo.

NeXT looks good in the logo, and they spent $100,000 on it.

FWIW, I like it but it is confusing and made harder by the fact they also didn’t stick to their own conventions much of the time.
