Sir Tim had two NeXT computers running the NeXTSTEP operating system. It was on these that he invented the World Wide Web. The computers are now of historical significance and have been kept on display at CERN. By the way, NeXT was set up by Steve Jobs when he quit Apple after a power struggle. So in a way, Steve had a role in inventing the world wide web (?).
