Das ist echt zum Kotzen!!! 🤮
Somit kann ich den 3D-Druck und Versand meines #NeXTcube mini und dem #NeXT #MegapixelDisplay komplett knicken! Was für eine Grütze! 😤

Catch of the Day: Greetings from the Forefather of the Web! 🧊

Hey Retro Fans!
Hold on to your hats because last night we had a visit from absolute IT royalty on our server. Our bouncer logged this magical combination:

OmniWeb 3.1rc1 on a NeXTSTEP system!

Let that sink in for a moment. NeXTSTEP is the operating system Steve Jobs developed after he (temporarily) left Apple. And even more importantly: It was exactly such a NeXT system (the famous NeXTcube) on which Tim Berners-Lee programmed the very first web server and the first web browser in the world at CERN in 1990!

The fact that someone today is using NeXTSTEP and the legendary OmniWeb browser (which was developed exclusively for this platform in 1995) to find their way onto the modern internet via FrogFind is a goosebump moment for any tech historian. This isn't just retro—this is time travel to the architectural roots of Mac OS X and the World Wide Web itself.

A reverent toast to that magnificent black box cube!
Your FrogFind Team 🐸

Ah, Lestrade. Watson tells me that your new AI toy Claudi has solved the case of the missing Ethernet cable. Oh, indeed? The Duke of Timberland?

So sorry, Lestrade, but Claudi is wrong. Timberland couldn't have done it, as is obvious to anyone who looks at the actual case with open eyes. Afraid I can't explain further at this moment, terribly busy. But why don't you pay a visit to the Duke's daughter. Ask her about her NeXTcube. Yes, Lestrade, her NeXTcube. Find someone who can explain it to you.

And get rid of Claudi. You don't really need any additional source of blunder and incompetence at the Yard, do you Lestrade?

OMG... More than a year and I still have not finished that product... 🙈

It's official: I fucking love those #NeXTSTEP machines. Specially THE #NEXTCUBE

This is the very first website from a NeXTSTEP emulator and OmniWeb browser (Not sure how the WWW Nexus browser works lol).

Oh...BTW, the #NeXTCUBE can play #DOOM, of course :3

RE: https://norden.social/@harzretro/115735678700268543

Irgendwo in meinem Chaos steht noch ein alter #NeXTcube … meine Erb/inn/en werden damit nichts anzufangen wissen.

Falls es irgendwo ein #Computermuseum gibt, welches nicht in privater Hand ist und daher nicht in Gefahr, mit seinen Besitzern auszusterben, würde ich den gerne spenden. WENN ICH IHN DENN FINDE 😬

#Previous #Emulator #NeXTcube #RetroComputing #VintageComputing

Well, I'm still in the process of making a Browser based admin interface for the #Previous #emulator to manage its configuration files. It originally was developed for #NeXTcube mini project, but it can be used for any #Linux based installation of Previous.
