It *really* did not benefit from
I don't recall/its been too long ago anyway to recall my OmniWeb experiences
from my friends NeXT Slab.
I do have it loaded on my Apple Mac mini, and it seems to perform just fine. No
Pentium II experiences or HPPA to directly relate to though.

OmniWeb was always slow, even on HPPA and Pentium II hardware. It’s a very poor

Well, numbers don't lie; I guess I just remember the NeXT as a slower
machine because I was always playing with it side by side with SGIs or
something :O It actually stacks up pretty well, here's the results of my
rough little morning benchmark if anyone wants to know :O

I swear, this is the only place in the world where I have seen the group
consensus shake out that NeXTstep was fast and responsive on the NeXT '040
hardware :O
I am about to go downstairs and benchmark my Color Slab vs my Quadra 800
and make sure I'm not going nuts, LOL.

OmniWeb; it takes a few minutes to render my simple HTML 3.2 homepage on my

Jumping in on the bandwagon.
A few years back, I had a friend loan me his NeXT slab for about a year. 25 Mhz
CPU. Everything pretty much stock.
My observation of the default GUI was it was pretty darn quick, not even taking
into account the hardware it was running on.

we have one of the NeXT cube looking computer, a monitor and a NeXT
laser printer. looking for an archive stash of advertising lit. and
graphics we can use to build a display around this hardware.
Suggestions? Thanks Ed Sharpe _www.smecc.org_ (http://www.smecc.org)

I am running OPENSTEP on an Axil 320 (SPARCstation 20 clone) with 416M
of memory and a 60MHz SuperSPARC processor (sadly OPENSTEP (at least the
version that I have) only supports one of the two processors in the
system). The system runs OPENSTEP very well.

It was always my experience ... I think NeXTstep had a reputation of being
a little balky on the proprietary NeXT hardware. I am fortunate to have a
decent swath of their product line ... an original '030 Cube, a Color slab
and a Turbo Color slab and even on the Turbo slab with 32 megs RAM and a

I think you'll find the best upgrade for it besides the RAM is a faster
hard drive. Also I wouldn't go higher than nextstep 3.3. Blackhole (

one from eBay, would you mind sharing more details/pics of that next logo

Just acquired a NeXT 68040 cube computer. It's way cool, but the responsiveness
is unimpressive - I'd call it pokey.
All 16 RAM slots are full for 16MB, but sixteen 4MB RAM sticks may help the
speed.
It has an internal HD, as well as the magneto-optical drive.
One things it's missing is the
