Turns out they really were inventing the future in that office, and the NeXT Cube has a better case for being the progenitor of the billions of slabs of glass, metal, and silicon that changed the world than any other computer.
- WillAdams 1y agoI am sad because: - I have to use a Windows computer to run Macromedia Freehand, the Affinity Design folks bailed on doing a full clone (and I dread their 30 Oct announcement which will probably be for a subscription model), the Quasado folks are now doing GraviT over on the Chrome store, and I haven't found a vector drawing program for Mac OS which I like which supports Services - Lotus Improv 2.0 was for Windows --- there is no multi-dimensional spreadsheet like to it for Mac OS --- closest thing I've found is pyspread, unless someone can get Flexisheet running, Numbers.app is painfully 2D last I checked - Services are woefully under-represented, really miss little apps such as poste.app (envelope printing), and sbook.app and Millenium's Notebook.app - I have to dig out a Raspberry Pi to run Mathematica - I miss writing PostScript strokes and fills and seeing them on-screen - my Wacom One quit working with my MacBook --- that never happened w/ my Wacom ArtZ attached to my NeXT Cube Yes, I'm glad to have TeXshop.app, but these days I mostly just do Literate Programming in TeXstudio, which is painfully cross-platform. My next project is to do a Cyberdeck using an rPi 5 and a Wacom Movink --- we'll have to see how that turns out.
