Two Windows

A Tanka Sequence

I

In the still morning
you open the window wide
beside the table.
A cool breeze stirs the orchid,
cooling my cup of coffee.

II

Across from your light,
I open the other pane.
The air grows stronger.
Leaves whisper into the room
like all the things left unsaid.

III

Below the hillside,
a woodpecker drums the trees,
red crest among leaves.
A car passes on the road,
then fades into the morning.

IV

The wind kisses me.
I think of you and of us:
two windows open,
facing different landscapes,
yet filled with a single breeze.

Nice. This used the #CDE desktop, based on #Motif. I did prefer the earlier #OpenWindows / #OpenLook, though. Partially because I was involved in the development of that.

@mos_8502 @paulrickards

I played around with it on HP-UX in the 2000s. It honestly never grabbed me, but nostalgia is always super subjective.

#OpenLook / #OpenWindows, though... man, I miss that clean, high-resolution monochrome alternate reality.

I want that back!!! XD

I played around with it on HP-UX in the 2000s. It honestly never grabbed me, but nostalgia is always super subjective.

#OpenLook / #OpenWindows, though... man, I miss that clean, high-resolution monochrome alternate reality.

I want that back!!! XD

Whoa, major geek cred!

I still miss #OpenWindows. That was such a clean UI.

Maybe not quite as nice as #IRIX, but darn nice. 😄

@morgant

The SE/30 was one of my grail machines, because I had a regular SE, and I always dreamed about having a machine that would be ~3+ times faster ;)

The color classic was so adorkable. I remember seeing 10" trinitrons on fancy pay phones in the early 90s and thinking, "Why can't Apple make a classic mac with THIS screen??" Surely enough, they did!

It's funny now that I so fondly reminisce about #monochrome interfaces like #ClassicMacintosh and #OpenLook / #OpenWindows, because back then, I literally dreamed of having color, especially the #Amiga! ;)

So basically it had just enough processing power to interpret X11 graphics commands, and just enough VRAM to display it.

Pretty clever compromise for the hardware limitations of the 90s and maybe early naughties.

I remember my aunt had an all-in-one Sun workstation circa 1994 with a monochrome display that booted off of the network, but it had its own CPU and everything. Pretty dang sweet machine. My time hanging out with her there gave me a love for #OpenLook / #OpenWindows that continues unabated today, even though it was in fairness a somewhat clunky GUI. Dang sharp, though.

As I recall, everyone got hard disks for local storage and booting soon after. I'm guessing their network wasn't up to snuff for diskless workstations. ^___^
