Today I learned there are UNIX Gurus who don't have beards.

UNIX compilers are slow!

[Skaldicgoth]

LOl what, the editing looks fast, then he compiles and also he plays a game? My first computer was installed with Win 95, i wish i had a computer like this cause it looks more advanced than win 95 lol

After seeing this I'm suddenly reminded of my Commodore Amiga 500 and 1200's.

Damn when does this come out?

[kaishaku72]

Remember there was plenty of similar competing, and arguably better, technology of this kind around this same time period.

Xerox alto way better made in 1975

it was a GUI

[hyretech]

It was reasonably advanced - though there were faster (and more expensive) systems available.

Blit was advanced for a terminal product in 1982, but its needed a powerful host to drive it.

Xerox was making their Star for the commercial market in 1981, which had a more advanced "workstation" architecture, and a more evolved GUI.

Trippy.

Cool this is the Precambrian origins of X.

Lol, just kidding. This thing must have been the most advanced thing out there when it first came out!
