Re: [MBZ] NeXT is going
I finally replaced my 10 year old AMD K6-2 350 server running Server 2003R2 this summer with a gateway server at 1ghz intel and 4x9gb scsi raid5 It is vastly heavier, and vastly noisier. I will probably replace it with a non-server machine at some point for the sake of quietness. (still running 2003R2). The old server was still running just fine. Because it is my main file storage, i replaced it just because of age and the availability or the server hardware. I'm still looking for OSX server for a close to el freebo price. Peter, Don, et al. Speaking of Ye Olde Servers, my Novell 3.12 server runs on an EISA 486 mb with 16mb of memory. It still returns files faster than anything else on my small network. If it breaks, correction, when it breaks it will be all done as I'm sure parts are unobtainium. Will have to make one of my Olde Dell P2 motherboards run Novell 4. Fred "Older than dirt" Moir.

Re: [MBZ] NeXT is going
Yeah, Netware was blazingly fast, since it ran on a very small kernel and didn't do anything besides file serving. Should be a lesson to the writers of server software, eh? I believe it ran on a Digital Research version of DOS (actually, the real one, not the Microsoft clone) that was significantly faster. If the 486 croaks, you can use any x86 compatible MB to run Netware, but it will run just like a 486, won't use any of the other advanced features. Shouldn't be a problem since Netware is fast anyway.

Re: [MBZ] NeXT is going
I worked my way up from a Newton 100, 120, 130, 2000, the the Ultimate, a 2100. Which sits in its case gathering dust. I will use it as seed for the grandkid's college fund. clay On Dec 4, 2009, at 4:21 AM, Bill R wrote: I found a Newton at a garage sale several years ago, very slightly used and still in the box [with about a $1,100 price tag on it].

Re: [MBZ] NeXT is going
The original (Apple) cubes are still very popular, despite their flaws. I see them pop up every once in a while on my Mac forum. I can remember when the Apple education rep demo'ed a Cube for my school system when they first came out. He was doing something akin to the early version of iMovie, and the poor thing literally burst into flames. It was an awesome display, especially the flames that shot out the sides. I think they are pretty cool, especially if they have their original speakers and display.
