Location: GUIs > Apple > Rhapsody DR 2



New and improved sticky notes are included. There is also a text editor that can create and edit RTF (Rich Text Format) files.


Like NeXTStep and OPENSTEP, Rhapsody runs on top of a derivative of BSD Unix called Mach.


The hardware configuration utility is the same as the one in OPENSTEP, down to the look and feel.

Both OPENSTEP and Rhapsody have very limited hardware support for PC hardware. This is probably one of the big reasons Apple did not want to mess with MacOS for the PC, it would have had a very hard time supporting the huge amount of hardware available for PCs.


A weird thing I noticed is that some (but not all) of the about boxes display the current year from the system clock as the copyright date. No big deal, just odd.


The Rhapsody user management system. Notice the continued use of the "Column" view that was popular with NeXTStep.


Rhapsody also included a number of demo programs (some of which were also present in OPENSTEP). This larger 1024x768 screen shot shows some of the demo programs running.
