[nilz23]

You spelled Francisco wrong in both the title and the description!

"We saved ourselves a few thousand dollar fax machine" .. holy shit, did not know fax machines were THAT expensive. Compared to that, NEXT machines weren`t that expensive for a computer

This "first page" was on the networked NeXt computer system at the show, and the invite was for me to come to their production facilities with my Amiga system for R&D ... I could not go, because I had to stay with my job at The Dallas Times Herald to save, unable to do so, from failure, which in 1991 newspaper closed doors for good.

[DeBoyPenPal]

Mr. Jobs was very intelligent and inventive. He was very aware of the Commodore Amiga, and his head honcho (do not remember his name) contacted me at this presentation and invited me to bring my Amiga's, video controllers, sound software, and editing software to demonstrate "AREX" capabilities, as an "APPLICATION ONLY", not Amiga itself. Also, at this same show, I was the first one to complete building a desktop page, complete with wrap text, headlines, graphics ... "STEVE JOBS DOES IT AGAIN".

[mgabrysSF]

Pity quark pulled their offering shortly after this

[dvamateur]

Why Mr. Jobs never mentions Atari ST, Silicon Graphics, or Commodore Amiga?

[crocodile2006]

Lets grab a feel?

[Kyuuqsoft]

$7995, THAT'S EXPENSIVE. if i made Aussietrail, it will be $125.95

[MegaCellProductions]

1990:

Steve Jobs announces that eventually, video will be able to be viewed on an interconnected network of computers around the world.

2005: YouTube launches.

I cant imagine the photo editor in that old thing is better than the one on windows xp...

[sc0pl355]

@angelusp777 Windows xp was not out in 1990. Windows 3.0 was, I think.

[Farbog]

13000 dollars? wow

[oblitum]

steve con chaqueta y corbata. increible!

[improvono]

What is he wearing? Is... is that a suit?

[codeslavemanila]

amazing!

[macpac22]

4 products in one keynote...Steve would never do that today

[taweili]

It spells "Mac OS X" but it's pronounced NeXTSTEP! Long live the NeXT! ;)

[kanfor]

8:00 LOL!

¿Photoshop 1?

[venuecam]

the craziest thing about that was the clarity of the live preview you'd get. unbelievable for 1990.

[kanfor]

In 1990 i had an Amstrad ;-D

[venuecam]

in 1990 I had a top-loading beta video recorder with a pause button attached by a line in to pause recording.

[Olli120]

In 1990 i was -1 Years Old :)

[rleslievideo]

That is incredible to see.

[ubuntuforever]

Wow, 32 bit colours was pretty impressive for 1990. Very nice system. I wish I had one back then.

[silenthk47]

Wow thank you for posting this : D NEXT had an enormous impact on what we think of as modern computers, but it is not well known. I had never seen Steve Jobs on one until now.

[Ryanfox1981]

And to think that I have one of these still boxed in storage.

[venuecam]

if I was you i'd never open it and keep it under lock and key.

[kingcol252]

hard to believe that was only 17 years ago

[aliciagreening]

The scroll bar on the left side was kind of neat.

[Hildron101010]

Pink borders and purple windows, why did they laugh?

[maljlam]

Windows 3.0 at the time had only an 8-bit color palette.

[CultOfTheGlenda]

@maljlam That is great except that it is wrong. Windows 3.x was scalable up to 24-bit color.

[metasuperhyper]

windows 1 and 2, and to a lesser extent, windows 3

[yungceezy10]

because thats how windows 3 looked like

[crocodile2006]

@Hildron101010

Because thats what Windows 2.0 looks like. Google It.

[Hildron101010]

@crocodile2006 Oh yeah... haha. I forgot about that.

[abdulnafie]

that man knows exactly what he is doing!
