At Vassar betwen 1993 and 1997 I was teaching the occasional hypertext class in the media lab in the English department, and one of the biggest challenges was getting the students off of Broadcast (an IM-like app before AIM for Mac OS... ehm, 7, or so) while you were lecturing.
The way we usually caught this stuff (besides walking around the room in between the tables of computers) was that invariably someone would forget to turn their sound down, and the distinctive BroadCast blurp would give it away.
On a slight tangent, we had some excellent, and very productive classes when we all jumped on either the VassarMOO, LambdaMOO, or one of the other MOOs at the time, where students were allowed to wander into other rooms to discuss... well, whatever, really. The lecture, MOO-space, or, as I said, whatever.
Talk about frustrating. It's just looking like they're getting more interest from the community, more people're checking out the product, and it's coming along so well (the debug pages all show quite a lot of promise for changing elements of the dom and that lot), and then they get Sun mulling changing the status of the project. It has taken a lot of resources, and Netscape developers have taken a large (err...) bulk of the load in an incredibly public project, but it was just feeling a whole lot closer, a whole lot more promising in the last few months, certainly moreso than last November or so. It's just really too bad it hasn't quite gotten the rabid development Linux has gotten. (And yeah, the contractions are an easy way of getting around commiting to the past tense or the present) Has anyone been by http://www.mozilla.org/newlayout/bugathon.html?
I've had a few problems crashing while playing with the chrome, and once in the Debug frames page, but it's come a very, very long way from M3, at any rate. But overall this is the first apprunner I've run and thought of replacing NS4.6 with for my daily browsing (won't, of course, because right-click isn't enabled, tab-bing through links doesn't work just yet, and window.open isn't implemented yet).

I was thinking exactly the same thing while reading the article.
EOF and, for your desktop apps, Interface Builder, the GUI builder that doesn't generate code, it just maintains an object graph...
Unfortunately, programming for NeXT/OpenStep ruins you for pretty much all environments after that...

Apparently the lads at Supertart had something to say about Bill's thoughts.
To give a brief quote: "The machines are not our friends, our friends would let us have the packet of crisps."
Moving stuff.

So, so exciting.
