This is the full boot process of the #RaspberryPi with Raspberry Pi OS Light. It starts the #Previous emulator in kiosk mode and jumps directly into #NeXTSTEP.
Linux boot time is about 6-7 seconds, the rest (about 1:15m) is NeXTSTEP. 
Just ignore the guy in front of the monitor.

So, I think I'm done with the guide for installing #Previous on a #RaspberryPi (5). If you like, you are welcome to run through it and give me feedback on any errors or inconsistencies. I played through the process myself using this documentation and it worked for me. But that doesn't have to mean anything! Because there are a lot of things I might have taken for granted that I hadn't thought of.
I look forward to your feedback! 
OMG... #ProjectBuilder! I started with this software on Mac OS developing Objective-C.
Finally, I got #NeXTSTEP 3.3 running on a #RaspberryPi 5 with #Previous emulator. It was a loong road to go!
Next step (g): Enable color mode.

Yes!
Installation of #NeXTSTEP 3.3 in #Previous on a #RaspberryPi 5 is running.

Kind of a follow-up to yesterday's blost, but also informative for those who work with PDFs in Linux.
Thanks to https://infinitemac.org for enabling me to get the screenshot of Preview.app on NeXTStep 1.0. So awesome!!!!

P.S., I really hope someone gets the 1980s movie reference. Even though I've never seen said movie. 
P.P.S., @scruss informs me that Firefox's built-in PDF viewer can do (almost) all of the annotation things I've been trying to do with multiple apps. I'm kinda shook!

And one of the most interesting things about the PA-RISC based HP-9000 712 series is its Color Recovery system (allowing approximated 24-bit color from an 8-bit framebuffer -- which is effective and fascinating) and also, for me, the fact that it runs NEXTSTEP.
It's my fastest NEXTSTEP machine.

@kickingvegas This is because #emacs was bundled in #NeXTSTEP. And Mac OS Rhapsody is based on #NeXTSTEP.
Sadly, the bundled emacs only supports TUI (like newer macOS does).
@OpenPA Yes! I just wish there had been more binaries supporting "green" hardware under NEXTSTEP. I've got a turbo slab and this Gecko, but more runs on the slab, ofc.
I started out with NEXTSTEP on an Intel 486 66 fabricated for the purpose of running the OS. That was a stacked 486, I can tell you, and with a rather interesting graphics chipset / interface, the Wingine Localbus.

#NextStep as well! It's fantastic!
Googling around I found this nice HTMLified version for the #NeXTstep 3.3 developer docs, if you ever need to lookup the `NXBrowser` or `NXBundle` API's: https://www.nextop.de/NeXTstep_3.3_Developer_Documentation/

@mtconleyuk @Benhm3 @maxleibman yeah, ask @fuchsiii how many hours she invested into making a date & time picker across all #Apple's still maintained OSes that doesn't look like some #X11 on #NeXTstep-style uglyness!
Thinking of NEXTSTEP this morning...I'd guess many aren't aware of the unusual color display arrangement.
The NeXTstation, which was the first "affordable" color solution for NEXTSTEP, has a 16-bit framebuffer, but instead of rendering the desktop in 65,536 colors (as per Windows or Mac hardware, say), it rendered in 12-bit color with 4-bits of alpha channel (transparency).
That means it had a palette of 4096 colors, with all colors available at once on the display (not like, say, the Amiga or Apple IIgs with a 4096 color palette, but video modes with a small subset of those colors available (yes, yes, HAM mode excluded). Additionally, anything on the screen had 16 levels of opacity available.
It's interesting to see in person, on the actual hardware (especially on a good LCD display). With dithering, it looks very close to 24-bit truecolor.
(The NeXT Dimension color board for the Cube allowed 24-bit color with 8-bits alpha, but that was not so frequently used -- less so than most NeXT hardware even...)
But that's not nearly the weirdest that NEXTSTEP-capable hardware got, when it came to color video display...
