@drewmcmanus@hachyderm.io I got an old NeXTStation from a coworker years ago. It is a neat thing. However like most of my vintage hardware I become afraid to turn it on. Instead I rely on emulation. InfiniteMac now lets you run any version of NeXT software on any of the emulated NeXT Computers in the browser. The only thing it doesn't seem to emulate is the NeXTDimension video board. infinitemac.org/

I thought I had read every book on the history of NeXT. I apparently missed this one! Now starting... #NextComputer #ComputerHistory #history

@Z_Zed_Zed@universeodon.com I believe it originally came from Asimov but the copy I'm following is: kaedrin.com/fun/asimov/aguide.html

Second book in the Asimov recommend sequence reading through to the Foundation series begins...

Isaac Asimov: I, Robot (Paperback, 1984, Del Rey) 4 stars

I read it in dribs and drabs over the past few months. Although obviously anachronistic about robotic hardware, computer technology, and gender relations since it was written so long ago it was still a great exploration of how "the three laws" of robotics plays out in life scenarios. I loved the vignette style format and its attempt to deep dive into the technical problems being explored. I can see why all that is way too dry for others though.
