I'm willing to be corrected on this, but Steve never sold NeXT to Apple.
Apple, instead bought NeXT.

The Cobra isn't for sale,
"but I want it, I need it, how much?"
It isn't for sale, I don't want to sell it.
"I'll give you twice of what you originally paid for it and but\y you a new
Viper GTS."
Sold.
