- me 593 days agoA fascinating and extensive insight into an almost forgotten era of Apple… I’m happy that Apple eventually ended up choosing NeXT, but I would have loved to own an ANS back then (I was running A/UX on a IIci and MkLinux on a PowerMac 6100 and had access to IBM and Motorola AIX machines…), especially with the never-released A/UX 4 :).
- classichasclass 593 days agoIt was a really strange time. I loved my ANS and other than a brief time I got to touch an A/UX console (though I lacked a login) it was the only Apple Unix thing I used contemporaneously. Apple truly seemed all over the place. Otherwise for me personally it was all BSD and classic Mac OS, as a child of the University of California. 8-)
