As children, Chase and Elizabeth Koch spent many Saturdays at home in Wichita listening to books on tape selected by their father. It was not the time for The Wizard of Oz. The sandy-haired Koch children listened to recordings of famous thinkers like F. Hayek, the Austrian economist and forefather of the modern libertarian movement, and they discussed values like courage and equal rights. Chase, not yet a teenager, sometimes nodded off. But Koch has, in the years since, embraced many of the same thinkers whom his father drew on to shape both his political outlook and Koch Industries.

And though he skips the books on tape, Koch now focuses on the same ideals he learned as a child, like courage and equal rights, routinely in conversations his own sons, who are 4 and 6, respectively. His year-old daughter is still a little young to join. He also believes a well-rounded education involves music; in August, he took his oldest son to see Pearl Jam play at Wrigley Field. For Koch, working in fertilizer became an education in technology. This year, he launched a Koch business-within-a-business of his own called Koch Disruptive Technologies. Koch married his wife, Annie Breitenbach, in , and the couple purchased 70 acres in Wichita shortly afterward.

This fall Annie, a former neonatal nurse, and Zach Lahn, a former Koch network fundraiser, opened Wonder, a private school located on the Wichita State University campus serving preschool and elementary school students.

Right now, some of them cut smaller checks to groups supported by the network than their older counterparts, not unlike a junior membership at a country club, as they continue to amass their millions. Those same donors tend to agree with Koch about politics: To much of the Koch network, Chase Koch is still relatively unknown.

Even small steps that the network has recently taken to reassert itself as separate from the Republican Party have irked other donors. A major GOP donor, he had recently started attending meetings, though he had not yet contributed money. But many Koch network donors, many of whom joined the network as its size ballooned during the height of its political, anti-Obama years, said they had not yet considered how the organization might someday change under its new leader.

After all, Charles Koch was entering his late 60s when he gathered the first Koch network meeting in Chicago and began swaying a generation of American politics. One of the featured events? A tour of the Wonder School.

The games Doom , Doom II: Other games based on the Doom engine , such as Heretic and Hexen: The systems also came with a number of smaller built-in applications, such as the Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary, Oxford Quotations, the complete works of William Shakespeare , and the Digital Librarian search engine to access them. The operating system was ported to Intel's architecture because of a change in NeXT's business strategy, which was then to remove themselves from the hardware business entirely.

By mid the product was complete and version 3. NeXT withdrew from the hardware business in and the company was renamed NeXT Software Inc; consequently, of the staff employees were laid off. Work on the PowerPC machines was stopped, along with all hardware production. After dropping the hardware business, NeXT returned to selling a toolkit to run on other operating systems, in effect returning to the original business plan. The company also launched WebObjects , a platform for building large-scale dynamic web applications. Several NeXT executives replaced their Apple counterparts when Steve Jobs restructured the company's board of directors.

The operating system was code named Rhapsody , [61] while the toolkit for development on all platforms was called "Yellow Box".

For backwards compatibility Apple added the "Blue Box" to Rhapsody, allowing existing Mac applications to be run in a self-contained cooperative multitasking environment. The OpenStep developer toolkit was renamed Cocoa. Rhapsody's Blue Box was renamed Classic Environment and changed to run applications full-screen without requiring a separate window. Apple included an updated version of the original Macintosh toolbox, called Carbon , that gave existing Mac applications access to the environment without the constraints of Blue Box. Apple moved to Intel processors by August Jobs created a different corporate culture at NeXT in terms of facilities, salaries, and benefits.

Jobs had experimented with some structural changes at Apple but at NeXT he abandoned conventional corporate structures, instead making a "community" with "members" instead of employees. This caused a few awkward situations where managers were paid less than their employees. Employees were given performance reviews and raises every six months because of the spartan salary plans. To foster openness, all employees had full access to the payrolls, although few employees ever took advantage of the privilege.

Jobs found office space in Palo Alto, California on Deer Creek Road, [68] occupying a glass and concrete building which featured a staircase designed by architect I. The second floor was the office space with an open floor plan. The only enclosed rooms were Jobs's office and a few conference rooms.

As NeXT expanded, more office space was needed. The company rented an office at and Chesapeake Drive in Redwood City, [66] also designed by Pei. The architectural centerpiece was a "floating" staircase with no visible supports. The publication was discontinued in after only four volumes. Despite NeXT's limited commercial success, the company had a wide-ranging impact on the computer industry. Microsoft announced the Cairo project in ; the Cairo specification included similar object-oriented user interface features for a coming consumer version of Windows NT. Although the project was ultimately abandoned, some elements were integrated into other projects.
