If this is in reply to Tim Berners Lee writing the web on a NeXt, it is not false. He also went to Paris to a conference to show Steve the stuff with his black NeXt. Unfortunately he (Tim) was at the end of the line and Steve had to leave before seeing his "web".
Actually if I recall, since then, Tim never met Steve until very recently or perhaps they have never met.
I was replying to "no Steve = no web", which seem a good sample of irrational exaggeration I'd rather not see on hn, even on his death.
