OPENSTEP 4.2 / NeXT on old IBM Aptiva with PIII i found in my garage. It was nearly to be trashed but then - i knew for what it will be used! I cleaned it up, painted the case with gray granuled / textured paint, bought Matrox Millenium II pci, and the 3Com ether link from eBay for few bucks, and voila. I have now an really enjoying OPENSTEP / NeXT realestate here!

Sorry if the video is a bit flanky but i filmed it with an iPhone in left hand while typing with right one :]

I installed OPENSTEP 4.2 user CD, OPENSTEP 4.2 developer CD, and started to have fun with some development also ! all the way NSObject :]

BTW: If someone has WebObjects 3.5 developer CD, is the one i'm missing to have the whole installation setup up. Please contact me, to see if we can deal something with it .

So the system specifics if somebody interested:
------------------------------------------------------------------
- System IBM Aptiva
- Intel 810 chipset
- PIII, 733 Mhz
- 384 MB, PC133 SDRAM
- LG DVD IDE
- MAXTOR, 80G IDE (used only 4G), waiting to try the 2940UW ;]
- Matrox MGA Millennium II, PCI gfx 4MB WRAM
- 3COM 905b XL NIC, PCI

- no sound for now but i don't really care too
much because i use it for hobby development ...
will throw in some SB16 PCI in the future ...
