@oddsontechnology: Follow us @oddsontechnology for more tech archives and tech videos. In 1992, Steve Jobs demonstrated DOS software running inside NeXTSTEP using SoftPC, joking that he had learned “just enough DOS” to give the demo. He even opened Lotus 1-2-3 inside a window, showing off NeXTSTEP’s multitasking capabilities years before NeXT technology became part of Apple’s future. #Tech #apple #stevejobs #iphone #dos

His “learned just enough dos” is such nonsense. He was constantly trying to downplay the power of anything that didn’t inflate his ego or his wallet. That’s not being a good businessman, it’s just being vile.

Nextstep was so amazing back then, it’s what they used to make DOOM and Quake for the PC

It really exemplifies the apple ethos to this day. Everything has to be easy and approachable to everyone, even when it comes at a cost of peak productivity for those who got used to the program's workflows.

Ya but a game using the legacy sound blaster pc interrupt interface was the only gold standard of pc compatibility, back in the day.
