:-) I worked in the first OSX version. I did the AppKit UI being one of the few on the planet who had a NeXT background.

It came with a UK language model as the US model didn’t recognise my accent.

Heh. I can relate to seeing your product on a shelf.

I recall seeing IBM ViaVoice X on shelves a Circuit City. It was rather an ego trip.

It’s been many a year since I thought of XPress.

I recall I did a Mac XPress XTension that used GUSI (sockets) to talk to a 4D server to grab artwork. I even had it multi-threading (co-operative of course) and a UI using PowerPlant. Rather a hack.

To be fair, the syntax has changed since the days of NeXT. Accessing object variables been more C like (dot notation).

Personally, I never had any difficulties understanding the old syntax.
