Tom WalkerMastodon: the only social network with more Windows 3.1 users than Windows 11 users
I know no one wants to give Windows any credit, but Windows 3.1 was the golden age of computing. The last prelapsarian (that is, pre-internet) era of the PC.
Brian DearHeresy. NeXTStep was the golden age of computing.
Sören@brianstorms @tomw spoken like someone who hasn’t used Macintosh System 7!
Sure, I used System 7 on secondary machines at work but I was already spoiled by NeXTStep.
When I'd gotten a NeXTcube around 1990, it just blew Macs away in every way shape and form, and I stayed in NeXTStep as my main desktop OS for years, eventually migrating to a Canon Object.station (pizza box running NeXTStep for Intel) until MacOS X came out circa 2001. MacOS X was essentially NeXTStep with some Mac "flair" and I was ok making the switch, and I'm still using that today.
