Just got my digitized version of the Steve Jobs demo of NeXTSTEP 3.0 back from the company who digitized it for me. It's a 1,1GB file ripped from the NTSC video tape I had sent to me over about 20 years ago. You can download it now from ftp.fidonet.io/pub/NeXT/Videos/ and it's called Nextstep_version_3.0-Steve_Jobs.mp4. And yes, you need a FTP client for that.


There is a way worse version of this available on Youtube since many years back. This version was ripped by me using a cheap NTSC VHS player and some cheap hardware on a Windows PC and it's really bad so if you want the best possible version of this (next to getting it from the original DV tape), this is it.

Enjoy.

I was just going to say.. I found the same thing on YT. But the quality is very washed out.

I will be dropping by to fetch your fresh version soon. I can't do 1GB on my mobile data plan, so I have to wait until I get into town and use my DSL.

Watching the 1st few seconds reminded me of the over-the-top enthusiasm of the lead character playing the Product Sales Manager in the HCF tv series.
