Wehikuł czasu dla fanów Apple i PC. The Virtual OS Museum pozwala odpalić ponad 600 starych systemów
Zastanawiałeś się kiedyś, jak wyglądała praca na komputerach Apple kilkadziesiąt lat temu? A może zżera Cię nostalgia za wczesnymi wersjami Windowsa lub systemami z domowych maszyn 8-bitowych?
The Virtual OS Museum to gigantyczny, darmowy projekt, który pozwala uruchomić w emulatorze ponad 1700 instalacji systemowych – od wczesnych maszyn liczących, po klasycznego Mac OS-a i platformę NeXTSTEP.
20 lat cyfrowej archeologii. Gigabajty historii w dwóch wersjach
Projekt The Virtual OS Museum to dzieło dewelopera Andrew Warkentina, który przez ponad dwie dekady archiwizował obrazy starych systemów operacyjnych i dokumentację techniczną. Efektem jego pracy jest gotowe środowisko emulacyjne, które zdejmuje z użytkownika cały ból związany ze żmudną, ręczną konfiguracją retro oprogramowania.
Twórca udostępnia swoje zbiory w dwóch wariantach. Wersja pełna to potężna, ważąca 121 GB paczka (zajmująca po rozpakowaniu aż 174 GB), która zawiera wszystkie pobrane pliki i działa całkowicie offline. Z kolei dla osób z mniejszymi dyskami przygotowano wersję „Lite” o wadze 14 GB. Ten wariant pobiera obrazy poszczególnych systemów prosto z sieci dopiero przy próbie ich pierwszego uruchomienia. Oba pakiety obsługują automatyczne aktualizacje, dzięki czemu nowości trafiają do biblioteki bez konieczności ponownego pobierania całości.
Od mainframe’ów po Newtona i pierwsze wersje iOS
Lista obsługiwanych platform przyprawia o zawrót głowy. Z perspektywy fanów Apple najciekawiej prezentuje się możliwość płynnego odpalenia klasycznego Mac OS-a (aż do wersji OS X 10.5 PPC), zapomnianego A/UX, systemu NeXTSTEP czy oprogramowania przenośnego sprzętu Newton. Jeśli tylko pozwala na to emulacja, znajdziemy tam nawet wczesne wersje mobilnego systemu iOS.
Baza muzeum nie ogranicza się jednak wyłącznie do sprzętu z Cupertino. Obejmuje ona łącznie 250 różnych platform sprzętowych. Wśród nich ukryto oprogramowanie z pierwszych komputerów typu mainframe z lat 50., przeróżne dystrybucje Unixa i Linuxa, systemy operacyjne komputerów Commodore, Atari i Sinclair, a także wszystkie wczesne iteracje Windowsa (od wersji 1.0 po wersje beta Longhorna) i mobilnego PalmOS.
Ważny haczyk dla posiadaczy Maców z Apple Silicon
Zanim jednak klikniesz przycisk pobierania, musisz pamiętać o jednym istotnym ograniczeniu technicznym. Twórca na oficjalnej stronie wprost zaznacza, że główna maszyna wirtualna hostująca cały projekt oparta jest obecnie wyłącznie na architekturze x86.
Co to oznacza w praktyce? Jeśli korzystasz z nowszych komputerów Apple wyposażonych w autorskie procesory z serii M (oparte na architekturze ARM), oprogramowanie będzie musiało polegać na dodatkowej warstwie translacji. Sam autor uprzedza, że w przypadku platform innych niż x86 wydajność działania emulatorów może być mocno ograniczona. Mimo to, chociażby dla sprawdzenia lżejszych, klasycznych systemów, jest to wirtualna kapsuła czasu, obok której żaden technologiczny geek nie powinien przejść obojętnie.

The Ultimate Marketing Machine
I found this relic while going through a clothes bin. This was given to me by someone in NYC NeXT sales, pre-NeXTstep 1.0. Not sure if BMW was actually a customer (although most big companies had at least one) but I expect that it was more to associate NeXT computers with brands that Steve respected.

CW: NextStep is so cool
Note: this is off-memory, details might be wrong, correct me in comments.
Steve Jobs got fired from Apple for spending an insane amount of development resources and marketing in the original Macintosh (the literally 1984 Macintosh ad).
So they kicked Jobs and he went to create this company called NEXT who made these next-level hightech computer workstations called NEXT Stations, that ran an OS called NextStep.The OS was very advanced. It look good and it worked wonders.
The NEXT machines became the standard High-End tech company computer. John Romero loved those things. Quake was written entirely on the first NEXT stations they bought for their office after DOOM iirc.They were the pinnacle of "expensive productive computer" from 88 to 93. Basically they were the SGI workstations but not for graphics and more affordable.
And their OS (NextStep) inspired some of the look and feel of versions of MacOS after MacOSX (2001).
NextStep went to become OpenStep and later became GNUStep and a compatibility development environment
But all that I really care about it is: The window maker: The desktop environment, the stuff you use, the desktop.And so although I love CDE (another Unix workstation desktop environment) WindowMaker (the reimplementation for xorg) seems so flipping cool.
(it is still somewhat maintained BTW It's not abandoneware)Also #NextStep used Objective C and so MacOSX onwards was also programmed in that until 2014 when Swift was introduced.

Catch of the Day: Greetings from the Forefather of the Web! 🧊Hey Retro Fans!
Hold on to your hats because last night we had a visit from absolute IT royalty on our server. Our bouncer logged this magical combination:OmniWeb 3.1rc1 on a NeXTSTEP system!
Let that sink in for a moment. NeXTSTEP is the operating system Steve Jobs developed after he (temporarily) left Apple. And even more importantly: It was exactly such a NeXT system (the famous NeXTcube) on which Tim Berners-Lee programmed the very first web server and the first web browser in the world at CERN in 1990!
The fact that someone today is using NeXTSTEP and the legendary OmniWeb browser (which was developed exclusively for this platform in 1995) to find their way onto the modern internet via FrogFind is a goosebump moment for any tech historian. This isn't just retro—this is time travel to the architectural roots of Mac OS X and the World Wide Web itself.
A reverent toast to that magnificent black box cube!

A more general example might be, which window you should be looking at in the first place.
For me, one of the features most sorely lost in the transformation of the NeXT UI to MacOS was the clear distinction between main, key, and “other” windows/panels…

Thinking of NEXTSTEP this morning...I'd guess many aren't aware of the unusual color display arrangement.
The NeXTstation, which was the first "affordable" color solution for NEXTSTEP, has a 16-bit framebuffer, but instead of rendering the desktop in 65,536 colors (as per Windows or Mac hardware, say), it rendered in 12-bit color with 4-bits of alpha channel (transparency).
That means it had a palette of 4096 colors, with all colors available at once on the display (not like, say, the Amiga or Apple IIgs with a 4096 color palette, but video modes with a small subset of those colors available (yes, yes, HAM mode excluded). Additionally, anything on the screen had 16 levels of opacity available.
It's interesting to see in person, on the actual hardware (especially on a good LCD display). With dithering, it looks very close to 24-bit truecolor.
(The NeXT Dimension color board for the Cube allowed 24-bit color with 8-bits alpha, but that was not so frequently used -- less so than most NeXT hardware even...)
But that's not nearly the weirdest that NEXTSTEP-capable hardware got, when it came to color video display...

Тимоти Джон Бернерс-Ли – человек, который почти создал интернет
Сегодня исполняется 69 лет со дня рождения человека, без которого интернет в виде привычной нам «всемирной паутины» мог бы и не родиться. Сегодня мы будем говорить про настоящего «живого классика» информационных технологий, про Тима Бернерса-Ли. Этот человек – настоящий фанат научного прогресса. Отдать то, что мы сейчас называем «интернетом», людям бесплатно — настоящий подвиг, ему не просто так был официально присвоен титул «Сэр». Как истинный рыцарь, он поднимал вопросы ответственности в сети. Вперёд, в историю «сети» и «паука», который её плёл.

P.S., I really hope someone gets the 1980s movie reference. Even though I've never seen said movie. 😄
P.P.S., @scruss informs me that Firefox's built-in PDF viewer can do (almost) all of the annotation things I've been trying to do with multiple apps. I'm kinda shook!
