In 1993, Steve Jobs was largely absent from public following his departure from Apple in 1985. Jobs had founded NeXT, a company that produced high-end Unix workstations, but it struggled commercially. The entry-level NeXT workstation was priced around $5,000—approximately $15,000 in today’s money—yet it was by far the cheapest Unix system available at the time, even making a true Unix system accessible to ambitious home users. Despite its technical innovations, NeXT's hardware failed to gain significant market traction. In February 1993, NeXT ceased hardware production to focus solely on software, particularly the NeXTSTEP operating system. The April 1993 issue of UnixWorld featured a cover story titled “Does Steve Jobs have a future in software?”, accompanied by a headline reading “Steve’s gone”. Ironically, four years later, Apple acquired NeXT, bringing Jobs back into the company. He played a pivotal role in revitalising Apple, leading to the development of revolutionary products like the iPod, iPhone, and iPad, which transformed Apple into one of the most valuable companies in the world.

Bonjour Amaury, vous avez l'arrêt et la direction, svp? ^afh

Stan Kelley-Bootle has some gems, he's the first person to get an advanced degree in computer science and a former commentator at UNIXWorld Magazine.

Bonjour, nous subissons une interruption momentanée du trafic métro entre Comte de Flandre et Arts-Loi, nous mettons tout en oeuvre pour résoudre la situation ^gl

C'est signalé! Merci, Amaury! ^afh

Merci pour l'info, je transmets. Belle journée ^ljc

UnixWorld magazine 1985 #unix #thegoodolddays #nostalgic

The glass palace, Javits in NY, site of many many a tech conference. And ComicCon! I can remember UnixWorld, then PCWorld, packed from wall to wall. Couldn’t even get near the downstairs food court.

Merci de nous l'avoir signalé. Nous l'avons transmis. ^lb

Yeah, sounded like a promising start of an adventure in a unixworld. Trapped and trying to escape through RPC by restoring the network stack but repeatedly dying by reboots in the process.

Yggdrasil in 93? But I also had a certain red CD that Marc Ewing handed me at UnixWorld.

“Introducing the SPARCbook - now you can run #UNIX and DOS applications unmodified. Comes with Solaris 2.0, SunSoft’s UNIX SVR4 implementation” - UnixWorld Magazine, 1991.

I like how time answers this 1993 UNIXWORLD question "Does Steve Jobs have a future in software?" #AppStore @MacObserver @drwave @bbum

Scanned this from UnixWorld a while back.

UnixWorld, April '93: "Does Steve Jobs have a future in software?" Oh, the irony. (my scan)

@unixworld this is what you're missing
