Yes indeed. It would also work (at least similarly) for the VIC-20 and other Commodore computers 🧑🏫
Or ... 99 has a more uncommon meaning for me 🤓
(in reality the hardware in question was brand new hottest stuff when I was young)
I know what you mean, but who are this "double click" and "exe" guys?

SEARCHING
FOUND Ultimate Game II - Take walk with the dog.
- Play game.
Do you mean that the filesystem itself had optimization so that searching from the command line (find
, grep
) was fast?
Or do you think more into the direction of the desktop apps Finder and Librarian?
At least I remember the Librarian.app was great for indexing and quickly searching through large amount of texts (from various formats).
Idee und technisch richtig gut, aber ich finde es auch recht gruselig ("Zombiespinnen") 😵💫
Richtig so, das wird auch Zeit!

Thanks alot for the details.
Very interesting, I did not know that the Mac SE/30 and the (cheapest) NeXTstation had comparable prices.
What I knew (for here in Germany) was that PCs were expensive (compared to today), but much cheaper than the Macs and NeXTs.
If you want to play around with NeXTstep or OpenStep today, I can recommend the following starting points and tools:
- NeXT Computers forum and its download section
- Previous emulator for emulating black NeXT hardware (m68k) | Releases | Source 1 | Source 2 | Development
- VirtualBox for emulating white NeXT hardware (intel) | Video: Installing OpenStep in VirtualBox
Here you can take a look at the NeXTstation brochure, it is mentioning your price of $5,000 on the last page.
Do you by any chance know what around the same time the costs for a "normal" PC was? Just to get an idea about the difference.
"Edge of Thorns" was and is a masterpiece in my eyes (ears).
On the other hand I am a Savatage fan for 30 years, so maybe not too objective on this matter 🤘😅
Unfortunately, the linked video "is not available" for me (in Germany?)
