@kickingvegas This is because #emacs was bundled in #NeXTSTEP. And Mac OS Rhapsody is based on #NeXTSTEP.

Sadly, the bundled emacs only supports TUI (like newer macOS does).

В 1985 году Стив Джобс был уволен из компании, которую сам же основал. Его новый проект — NeXT — не перевернул рынок, но идеи и технологии, родившиеся в тех стенах, до сих пор с нами: в телефонах, которыми мы пользуемся, и компьютерах, на которых работаем. Это история о компании, которая провалилась… и изменила весь мир.

@OpenPA Yes! I just wish there had been more binaries supporting "green" hardware under NEXTSTEP. I've got a turbo slab and this Gecko, but more runs on the slab, ofc.

I started out with NEXTSTEP on an Intel 486 66 fabricated for the purpose of running the OS. That was a stacked 486, I can tell you, and with a rather interesting graphics chipset / interface, the Wingine Localbus.

“Instead he said to himself, the next step is God to me, ay! God, and very God of very God: there is no other God than He. Thus through the strength of the eagle, whose eyes scorn the fire of the sun, did he learn to conquer Hod, the Splendour of the mighty waters, the ever-flowing and fluctuating desires of life, which contains all the colours of the opal, each brother light dissolving into its sister counterpart, according as the position of the Aspirant changes.”

Here is a demo showing how such software produces a human voice.

Found interesting old software, called SPASM, by Perry Cook. It's a Synthesis of the Singing Voice, Using a Waveguide Articulatory, Vocal Tract Model.

Googling around I found this nice HTMLified version for the #NeXTstep 3.3 developer docs, if you ever need to lookup the `NXBrowser` or `NXBundle` API's: https://www.nextop.de/NeXTstep_3.3_Developer_Documentation/

Trying out an OPENSTEP native installation on an i386 platform, I'm reminded that the EIDE drivers in the 4.2 beta diskette (EIDE driver v4.03) have better compatibility with the built-in IDE controllers on many motherboards. If you get IDE-related kernel panics during installation, try using the EIDE drivers from the 4.2 beta drivers disk instead of that from the standard drivers disk.

Focusing again on the next step:

Because it’s the only one I can take right now.
Not the one I regret.
Not the one I dream of.
Just this one.
Right now.
It holds all my momentum, all my courage, all my becoming.
Step.
That’s the story.

Does this work? I’d make it look better too.

@mtconleyuk @Benhm3 @maxleibman yeah, ask @fuchsiii how many hours she invested into making a date & time picker across all #Apple's still maintained OSes that doesn't look like some #X11 on #NeXTstep-style uglyness!

My first official non-student job was developing custom (mission-critical as they called it) applications with/for #NeXTSTEP. This plaque is a souvenir from that era.
#ThrowbackThursday

@sven I wished #Apple.would.release proper documentation re: #3rdPartyOS support or at least have some good way to boot stuff that isn't their bespoke #Darwin / #NextStep +#BSD distro aka. #macOS.

Thinking of NEXTSTEP this morning...I'd guess many aren't aware of the unusual color display arrangement.

The NeXTstation, which was the first "affordable" color solution for NEXTSTEP, has a 16-bit framebuffer, but instead of rendering the desktop in 65,536 colors (as per Windows or Mac hardware, say), it rendered in 12-bit color with 4-bits of alpha channel (transparency).

That means it had a palette of 4096 colors, with all colors available at once on the display (not like, say, the Amiga or Apple IIgs with a 4096 color palette, but video modes with a small subset of those colors available (yes, yes, HAM mode excluded). Additionally, anything on the screen had 16 levels of opacity available.

It's interesting to see in person, on the actual hardware (especially on a good LCD display). With dithering, it looks very close to 24-bit truecolor.

(The NeXT Dimension color board for the Cube allowed 24-bit color with 8-bits alpha, but that was not so frequently used -- less so than most NeXT hardware even...)

But that's not nearly the weirdest that NEXTSTEP-capable hardware got, when it came to color video display...
