NeWS (Network extensible Window System) was a discontinued windowing system developed by Sun Microsystems in the mid-1980s. Initially called "SunDew," its key architects were James Gosling and David S. H. Rosenthal. NeWS notably used the PostScript language for drawing and programming the display. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NeWS#unix #history

Found this on Imgur pic of IRIS Indigo, a line of workstations developed and manufactured by SGI, was first announced in July 1991. It ran IRIX Unix and was well known for various apps in the 90s such as those used in 3D Graphics and Animation, and other industries. There was a time when workstation/desktop OSes spied zero on you, and you were in total control of your data, unlike Microsoft, which dominates this space these days. #unix #history
