Looks fondly over at the old black pizza box


Had to move my Cube this past week-end, and it made me incredibly sad.

Using a NeXT Cube w/ Wacom ArtZ and an NCR-3125 running Go Corp.'s PenPoint (and rebooting into Windows for Pen Computing when I wanted to run Futurewave Smartsketch) was the high-water mark of my computing experience.

It was elegant, consistent, reliable, and "just worked" in a way no computer has since (and I had such high hopes for Rhapsody and the Mac OS Public Beta).
