Poll: Did you like using NeXTstep?

I used couple of times, on a 21" black and white monitor, it was big back in those days. What I liked about the interface and the whole system is simplicity and easy to use.

Now this "modern" os that came out of MS simply looks ridiculous compare to Next. I spend about 4 hours turning every jumping/happy color/extra sh*t that I don't need OFF, to make the system usefull as win95.
 
NeXTstep ruled. That's why I use Windowmaker. 🙂

Even though it doesn't boot anymore, I have a NeXT cube and monitor/keyboard (even the power cables w/ the NeXT logo) at my folks' house in Illinois. I should retrieve them at Christmas and get that thing working so I can sell it. 🙂

 
From "Listening to America: An Illustrated History of Words and Phrases from Our Lively and Splendid Past" by Stuart Berg Flexner:

"For 'great' (in the 20s) we have: the cat's pajamas, remarkable, first used around 1920, when pajamas were still somewhat shockingly new...similar expressions...the duck's quack, 1920; the bee's knees, the clam's garters, the elephant's wrist, the eel's ankles, the gnat's elbow, all 1923 the elephant's arches and the sardine's whiskers, both 1924; the bullfrog's beard, the cuckoo's chin, the leopard's stripes, the pig's wings, the snake's hips, and the tiger's spots, all 1925."


Once again, all I can say is....Google is your friend. 🙂
