I loved the dig at dos, and the casual way he threw in "smooth scrolling throughout." Thanks for the research, Steven and Cathy! He’s such a great salesman!

IB3 is a nightmare and a big failure when it comes to usability. IB2 still rules. “I know that IB3 is going to be a million times more usable and that it was past time for a real change in the world of IB.”

If you want to get your hands on NeXTSTEP though, you're probably better off finding a copy of OpenStep 4.2 for Intel, and installing it in VMWare or parallels. A Motorola 68040 is not a very snappy machine, to say the least. -jcr I’ve got a fair bit of NeXT hardware in my garage.

There are so many cool ideas in NeXTStep. Sometimes my husband I and I kick around the idea of getting one of those boxes just for *research*. Would be fun to have around, anyway : ) I know!

I'd forgotten about the days when you dragged an outline of a window, and how cool it was that NeXTStep just let you move the window around intact. -jcr Oh, that video takes me back.

Of course the nice thing about the two skinny windows was that you could easily and efficiently draw connections between objects that aren't in the same window, in the days before we had the luxuries we have now, like full-screen floating transparent windows.

If you press ⇧⌘4, then space, the two legs will highlight when you mouse over them, and you can take a screenshot of either one by clicking on it. This proves that each leg is a window (that's what pressing space gets you). This also goes for the box around the object. Andy Lee: It’s still implemented that way (as two windows) in IB 2.

I hope they got rid of floating palettes, that's what always trips me up in IB. I hate it when the palette palette gets stuck begind the inspector palette. rrrr.
