Special Treat: Steve Jobs NeXT Mail Welcome Message and Picture
Published by Eric Litman on Wednesday, October 15th, 2008 7:37pmI reached out to my friends on the ex-NeXT mailing list today to dig up an old gem: the default Steve Jobs welcome message in every NeXTstep users’ mailbox. This was a favorite play during customer demos and is so emblazoned into my permanent memory that I (sadly) can still to this day recite it:
Hi, this is Steve Jobs, and I want to welcome you to the NeXT world. We think you’re gonna love this computer. It’s got the most advanced applications of any computer shipping today, AANNNDDD, it’s the first computer designed from scratch to be an interpersonal computer, to extend personal computing into the realm of improving group productivity and collaboration, which we think is going to be the most exciting thing happening in desktop computing in the first half 90’s. So welcome to the NeXT world, and let us know what you think of your new computer.

Careful, it’s catchy!

Eric,
How funny is that!! I love it. I still have the old NeXT WaNUG newsletters and the Webster book. Joe Corini still has his NeXT Pizza Box and Printer.
I laugh every time I visit him.
Take care,
Phil

I’ve cleared out pretty much everything but my original cube (phenom), a few mousepads and a couple of t-shirts. I think the ‘030 motherboard I pulled from it is around somewhere, too.
Did you make it to the reunion?
