About NeXT nomenclature

Well… I don’t remember how to refer NeXT related terminologies properly. So, I looked up Wikipedia and found this.
The name was officially capitalized in many different ways, initially NextStep, then NeXTstep, and also NeXTSTEP. It became NEXTSTEP (all capitals) only at the end of its life. The capitalization most commonly used by “insiders” is NeXTSTEP. [...]

Motorola Razr v3m에서 대조영 보기

에.. 회사에서 서버 머신과의 네트워킹이 너무 느려서 USB flash memory를 샀다.이왕사는거 IOGear의 miniSD adopter를 샀는데..뭐냐면 일반 USB 메모리와 달리, SD 메모리를 착탈식으로 낄 수있는거다. 그러니 좀 비싸긴 한데..필요에 따라 나중에 메모리만 사면 되니까 더 좋다. microSD를 넣는 것을 살까 했는데, miniSD로 사는게 더 유연해서.. 왜냐하면 miniSD를 바로 낄 수있고, microSD는 miniSD 카트리지에 넣어서 [...]
