Hey by the way... what does NS (in all the object names, eg. NSButton) stand for anyway?

NextStep. I must say I've always been surprised that Apple didn't search-and-replace this with something else early on in the piece, but it's a nice nod to history at this point. :)

This is quoted as evidence for the "NeXT bought out Apple in a covert way" conspiracy theory.
