What year was this???

Anybody that doubts that Steve Jobs was a visionary should watch these demos. Most of what he demonstrated on the NeXT computer is now standard on every platform, nowhere more integrated than on the Mac OS X, of course.

He was a real visionary putting these ads on youtube..marketing for free!

Thank God i live in the future. And my computer doesn't have graphics like that.

In those times I used "pine", a text only mail reader.

Steve was extremely forward thinking and knew exactly what people wanted before they knew what they wanted. He's the greatest tech visionary.

DOOM was created on NeXT hardware.

It's hard for people today to realize how groundbreaking this was. Sure there was e-mail at the time, but it was almost exclusively managed in ascii text mode and used mainly by universities and military installations. Even some of what Steve's talking about here is more empowering than what we use today (this may have been based on RTF since it pre-dates the adoption of HTML some years later). It's funny how much of the OS X e-mail client still retains the look and feel of this program.
Don't forget that WorldWideWeb was written on a NeXT...
