  1. This is an old animation I had on VHS. I animated the train part (30 yrs ago?) with Mathematica on my NeXTdimension cube (using the graphic board NTSC Composite outputs). I renumerized it back from tape lately and added the scrolling text. Et aujourd'hui j'ai accolé l'intro musicale. Reste plus qu'à mettre des bips bips sonores lors de l'arrivée des impulsions lumineuses dans la partie 'train'...

  6. @trevorflowers I guess you know they should _not_ be placed straight but at a 28° angle, as per Paul Rand specification 🙂 #NeXTComputers

  11. Eh, je pensais que l'ordinateur Lisa d' #Apple était un successeur du Mac! Ce reportage m'a appris beaucoup de choses (mais pour #SteveJobs, ça je savais déjà qu'il était un trou du cul égomaniaque narcissique control-freak pas-du-tout-génial 🙂 ayant embarqué dans l'aventure #NeXTComputers

  13. @GustavinoBevilacqua @fribbledom that's what I remember too. It was a fork by Adobe to kill its *own* Display PostScript (c.1987) and its sibling EPS (Encapsulated PS) co-developed with NeXT and inspired by what Sun Microsystems did with NeWS, its Network extensible Window System (1986) #computerhistory #NeXTComputers

  18. @galaxis @stevenf "I used to run and support NeXT systems at work" Woa, cool! Where? NSA? Montreal McGill University? CERN? I don't know of any other places having used NeXT computers🤣 Speaking of CERN, do you know if some museum (online or IR) has a _running_ copy of TBL original programs? Oups, I just googled it and boom: digital-archaeology.org/the-ne with screencasts! #NeXTComputers oh, and Plan9 was running on those!
