NeXTSTEP Demo

Here's a 35 minute video of Steve Jobs demoing NeXTSTEP Release 3 from 1992. A few things to note. First, this is a great demo, Jobs really is a master at this. He shows things in a good order, building up on things he presents. He shows it from the point of view of the user and explains what looks so easy on the screen. If you forgot what enterprise computing was like in 1992, the little jab at Lotus 123 in DOS will remind you.

Second is just how little things have advanced since then. Most of the stuff you see is still the core of OS X. New macs don't come with modems so the fax capability is an add-on. There isn't an image editor built-in. I don't think live object-linking as shown in the demo is there either.
