![]() Well, it's a Celeron-700, I think, 128 megs of RAM, Ati Rage 128 (3D Rage Pro or something) graphics card. Please Please View image: /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif inquiring minds want to know View image: /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif ![]() Please post some screenes View image: /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif, Im always on the lookout for OpenStep/NeXTSTEP screen shotsĪnd BTW what are the specs of the box you are running it on? It's amazing how an "abandoned" OS can still be so useful.ĭude that's awesome!! I've always wanted to tryout NeXTStep/OpenStep This operating system is completely lovely and if I can get away with using it most of the time at work (excepting compatibility checks for windows-based browsers and support software for our products) I certainly will. It's a little rough around the edges browsing-wise (no gray background for every second post, for example) but I was surprised it worked at all. In my never-ending quest to explore different operating systems, I have finally got Openstep4.2/Intel to connect to the company network (a little bit more involved than for modern operating systems, but easier than getting, say, FreeBSD connected) and I ftp'ed to and grabbed OmniWeb for Openstep. On the other hand, it could involve the exact same command line interface that FreeBSD uses, or something. If you don't know NeXT, you can imagine it's a GUI based thing, perhaps wrapping around the self same tools that FreeBSD would use, you click a few options, you type a few key pieces of information, and it will automagically work. On the other hand, perhaps a perfectly usable utility exists to do all of it transparently exists. Heck, if you don't know command line, you couldn't imagine how to configure FreeBSD for the network. If you don't know FreeBSD, you can imagine it's a somewhat cryptic affair, involving modifying text files in /etc and running ipconfig with a few commandline flags. It really depends on how many people know how FreeBSD connects to the net, and how many people know how NeXT does it. I'm actually curious how many people are gullible enough to believe a statement as bizarre as that. You can download a copy of the last version here and the Karelia blog has the activation information for those who still want to use it (it is free and therefore unsupported).A little bit more involved than for modern operating systems, but easier than getting, say, FreeBSD connected Sun Microsystems bought Watson, but has yet to release the reworked version (which is supposed to work on Macs, Linux, Solaris and sadly Windows). That is to say, Watson is the foundation for the web tools that other people could make. Watson is a web services development platform. Sadly (like animal that eat their young) Apple reworked Sherlock into a poor, under support knock off of Watson and bundled it with Mac OS X starting with v10.2. The maker of Watson, an application way ahead of it's time. It is a must for anyone who uses Mac OS X, Rhapsody or NEXTSTEP/OPENSTEP. These guys have been making the best FTP client for years.

You can purchase TIFFany at the Stone Design online store here. Even though Caffeine shut it's doors before the release of Mac OS X v10.3, the version available now has been updated for it. The developers have moved on to newer and better things, but their apps shine on.

Not a day goes by that I'm not using some aspect of his software on my Mac OS X, Rhapsody or OPENSTEP systems. My favorite Mac developer is Andrew Stone. Some of the important areas within Apple's site: This has to be the very first place to go when looking further into Apple products. So to highlight places I go for info I've put together this links page. It would be great if I could make this site the best place for Apple info on the web.
