  • Steve Jobs demo of NeXTSTEP 3.0

    From Joacim Melin@2:221/242 to All on Sunday, May 17, 2020 13:04:37
    Just got my digitized version of the Steve Jobs demo of NeXTSTEP 3.0 back from the company who digitized it for me. It's a 1,1GB file ripped from the NTSC video tape I had sent to me over about 20 years ago. You can download it now from ftp.fidonet.io/pub/NeXT/Videos/ and it's called Nextstep_version_3.0-Steve_Jobs.mp4. And yes, you need a FTP client for that.

    There is a way worse version of this available on Youtube since many years back. This version was ripped by me using a cheap NTSC VHS player and some cheap hardware on a Windows PC and it's really bad so if you want the best possible version of this (next to getting it from the original DV tape), this is it.

    Enjoy.

    I was just going to say.. I found the same thing on YT. But the quality is very washed out.

    I will be dropping by to fetch your fresh version soon. I can't do 1GB on my mobile data plan, so I have to wait until I get into town and use my DSL.

    Watching the 1st few seconds reminded me of the over-the-top enthusiasm of the lead character playing the Product Sales Manager in the HCF tv series.

    Is that the same one on YT that runs for 35 minutes?

    The fastest speed I could get from your ftp site was 125KiB/s. That means it would take a bit over 2 hrs to download the 1GB file. :( Normally I would get close to 600KiB/s anywhere else.

    I'll try again tomorrow when ftp can chug along in the background for 2 hours. :)
