We had a lab of Apollos at our uni, in the "VLSI lab" (but used by everyone). We had one with a truly enormous (in depth) 17" or 19" colour monitor. I programmed some rudimentary 3d (flat shaded) on it, using some kind of direct screen buffer. I can't even remember if they ran X Windows. This would've been in the early 90s.
- neilv 1y agoThe Apollos had their own Display Manager. (At least, by the time I saw them, as they were almost being discontinued, when they ran Domain/OS SR10.) It had a lot of neat things about it, including being ahead of its time and thinking behind Unix. But often people just used it to run a single program, and spend much time in the rest of the system.
