Still Waxing Rhapsodic (11/8/97)
SceneLink
 

And speaking of big companies "getting friendly," Comdex takes place in about a week in Las Vegas, and Mac the Knife is spreading rumors that heavy-hitters Sun and IBM may have an interesting announcement. They may be going steady on a joint venture that apparently involves a primo Java development system that runs under Rhapsody. If true, that could mean big things both for the viability of Rhapsody Intel among developers, and the acceptance of Rhapsody in all forms among a more general audience.

It's exciting to think that IBM may officially endorse an Apple operating system. We've already heard rumors that IBM plans to name Rhapsody the "official upgrade" to its own semi-discontinued OS/2 Warp operating system, though that seems like a real stretch. Still, it's nice to dream...

From the writer/creator of AtAT, a Pandemic Dad Joke taken WAYYYYYY too far

 

The above scene was taken from the 11/8/97 episode:

November 8, 1997: (Sorry—this was before we started writing intro text for each episode!)

Other scenes from that episode:

  • 160: Smoke from the Ears (11/8/97)   Our collective head is spinning from the recent Apple Recon report on Monday's big Apple event. Anyone who watches AtAT on a regular basis will want to go check it out, but be warned-- there's so much going on in there that we can only begin to discuss it here.....

  • 161: Look Ma, No Wires (11/8/97)   For few days now, MacOS Rumors has been speculating on some kind of collaboration between Apple and Lucent Technologies, those guys who split off of Bell Labs, who have those stark white TV commercials with words being typed during the voiceover...

Why did you tune in to this '90s relic of a soap opera?
Nostalgia is the next best thing to feeling alive
My name is Rip Van Winkle and I just woke up; what did I miss?
I'm trying to pretend the last 20 years never happened
I mean, if it worked for Friends, why not?
I came here looking for a receptacle in which to place the cremated remains of my deceased Java applets (think about it)
