In the early 2000s my sysadmin boss still used his college days NeXT Slab as his desktop computer.
- em-bee 4y agoi bought a bunch of NeXTstations and a cube at a university auction in 2001 and had been using them for a few years after that.
- detourdog 4y agoThis place ended up with a semi load from some college lab decommissioning it was ridiculous.
- Damogran6 4y agoI'd love one, but the market prices are higher than my level of comfort, and my attention span is pretty well taken care of using virtualization (same goes for OS/2, BeOS, and AmigaOS)
- em-bee 4y agoyeah, what actually happend to get mine was that the university had a blind auction for a bunch of computer equipment. one "item" was a pallet full of NeXT hardware. a friend from the local linux user group and me put in a moderate bid and won. my friend picked a few machines from the pile, and i sold a few of them to others and for myself kept a slab or two, a cube (with a NeXTdimension card) and appropriate monitors. it was quite a nice catch for a decent price.
