Steve Jobs: on postscript, QuickDraw, and the Next computer

Article Abstract:

Steve Jobs offers his opinions on Postscript, QuickDraw and the Next computer. Next's multitasking capability is a boon for workstation publishing as is having real Postscript on the screen. The data displayed on the screen is the same data that goes to the printer, the need for a translation from an imaging format to Postscript has been done away with. Jobs sees Postscript as a standard that is here to stay, with many applications outputting their own Postscript code even now. Numerous information systems managers have invested in multiple-vendor platforms supporting Postscript, so it has become a key to interoperability. Part of Next's marketing strategy revolves around the cost of a workstation platform, which turns out to be considerably less than piecing together a comparable minicomputer.
