Well, OSX seems basically to be an updated version of NeXTSTEP with some cross-pollination of Classic MacOS features. I actually didn't realize this until the other day (I've never actually seen a NeXT system in operation) when I saw this 1992 video of Steve Jobs demonstrating NeXTSTEP 3.0: http://esm.psu.edu/Faculty/Gray/graphics/movies/jobs_NS30_demo_large.mov (This movie is part of a large collection of Apple promos, commercials, and other interesting tidbits at http://esm.psu.edu/Faculty/Gray/movies.html ) -- Brad Beyenhof [EMAIL PROTECTED] my blog: http://augmentedfourth.blogspot.com Life would be so much easier if only (3/2)^12=(2/1)^7. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
