Selling my Sparcstation 20 & Compact 1 keyboard
« on: Thu, 18 February 2010, 19:49:15 »
I never look at the classifieds so even though I posted it there I'm putting it here as well. I'm including my compact 1 keyboard which I think is the best layout ever even though the feel is not that great haha.

That's interesting, I never knew they ported NeXTStep to computers other than the NeXT Cube...

I'm almost positive I have an x86 port on a disk somewhere...either that or not so much a port but a clone.

there is NextStep for Next, SPARC, PA-RISC and x86.  PA-RISC is the best (computers are the fastest) if I'm not mistaken but are much much rarer than the others.

I could never take HP seriously as anything other than a printer maker. The fact that I once saw a video of a HP-UX machine from the late eighties that had a printer built into the body reinforced this...

I have always liked the font on the Sun keyboards.  In fact, they're pretty nice in general.  It's a shame they weren't mechanical.

I figured it came from the server room at Texas A&M.
 
 
The Texans here will appreciate that... or not.
