"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.

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".

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