Mum tries out NeXTSTEP 3.3 (1995)



Finally she's trying out an operating system that isn't a Linux distro or something made by Microsoft or Apple. NeXTSTEP was developed by NEXT Computers until it was bought out by Apple in 1997. NeXTSTEP was used as a base for Mac OSX so see if you can pick out some elements (e.g. The Dock) in NeXTSTEP that are similar to what we have today in Mac OSX. She may like Mac but NeXTSTEP was terrible in my mum's opinion. This just goes to show that apple did a good job with OSX ;)

Tasks Given:
- What time is it?
- Write, save and open a text document
- What's 129+342
- Change Icon Spacing
- Add a program to the dock
- Explore the operating system yourself
- Turn off your computer

The mother in this video uses Windows XP (2001) as her main OS. Would you like to see her try out Linux, Mac, Windows, OS/2 or other operating systems

through history such as AmigaOS? Then give your suggestions in the comments section. Give this video lots of likes, views, favorites and comments if you want my mum to try out other operating systems. I am open to any operating system suggestions you give especially if these videos go semi-viral (over 100,000 views). This channel is dedicated to me "introducing" people (mum, dad, me) to different operating systems they have never used before and leaving them to suffer in confusion struggling to do anything in an unknown computer environment... or see if these other operating systems are better than Microsoft Windows.
