Fine. I don’t understand fascism, especially, apparently, as applied to a discussion of computer companies—I admit it makes no sense to me. Perhaps someone will write a ruritanian romance which clarifies … this.
Sounded plausible enough, though. I very dimly recalled something like this: NeXT - Wikipedia but none of the details. (Strangely, mooted by the dual G4 Mac I used in the … '00s?) I never had the opportunity to use one with the Dimension board installed (that I can recall; the lab at UAF might have had a few). I only had the slab.
Thinking back, I think the look of OS X has done nothing by improve since Snow Leopard. I remember the pulsating buttons and gelatinous look everything had early on, and I remember cringing even then.
A pretty clear example of Steve Jobs not always making tasteful choices once he had a little horsepower to play with.
