offline promo from United Kingdom on 2004-01-03 19:25 [#01016341]

Interesting story this. This was the PC that never took off
back in the eighties. When it came out 1988 is had a 25mhz
processor and a 256mb hard disk. Pretty powerful eh? Damn my
PC from 93 is basically the same in every aspect. That beast
sure was ahead of its time. Mind you cost a packet!

I think promo is referring to the computer Steve Jobs made
after he left Apple. NeXTstep was the operating system he
designed to go on it. Peep the Cube design which Apple sort
oof used when Steve Jobs rejoined them.

Promo is wrong on the hard drive though...it actually had a
2Gb hard drive the 256Mb drive was actually an optical drive
:D

Little known fact: The World Wide Web was created and
developed on a NeXT machine by Tim Berners-Lee.
