building a PDP11 from the things you find at home

Here is the chain of events for the OS itself, I think I've got just about everything here. Apple buys NeXT (mainly to get Steve Jobs back I believe) Prelude to Rhapsody given out at at WWDC and shipped to developers (it's OPENSTEP 4.2). Remember with V4.0 NeXTstep became OPENSTEP. First Rhapsody beta's run on both x86 and *ALL* PCI based Mac's, they've got also got the classic mac interface. Rhapsody released as "Mac OS X Server" Mac OS X Beta's The Aqua interface is released on a Beta of Mac OS X Mac OS X Released In about 2 months Mac OS X 1.1 will be out. The question is, how many Mac users are still taking a wait and see attitude towards it? I just *FINALLY* upgraded from Mac OS 8.6/G4 to 9.1 *after* I bought the release version of Mac OS X. I used Mac OS X for a total of about a week after it came out. Once a Mac OS X native version of eXodus is released I'll give OSX a serious thought. The real problem I see for it is that there are currently no Adobe products except Acrobat Reader that run on it native. Zane -- | Zane H.
