On this day 20 years ago, Apple (AAPL) announced it was going to buy NeXT (and with it Steve Jobs) for $400M. Greatest deal ever made?

For those who have asked (and the rest of you who have wondered) the adjusted closing price for Apple (AAPL) back on 12/20/1996 was $0.76.

That’s an annualized total return of 28.6% over the last 20 years.
