    Post GUI history

    Thought this was an interesting site. It shows several screen shots of all the Windows and Mac GUIs (dating back to Windows 1.0), as well as a few Linux shots and many other prehistoric GUIs, dating back to the 60s or something...pretty interesting to see what GUIs looked like a long time ago if you weren't around then!

    Thanks for the link. It's fun to go back in time like that. Ahhhh... don't we all wish we could go back to Windows 1.0...

    "Microsoft promises to price Windows "as an operating-system component" - that is, inexpensively"

    Ack! Windows is M$ Crack! They gave us a taste got to where we can't do most tasks without it and now tech junkies will break into books to learn more and get around 'protections' to get their fix.

    Looking at that is frightening. I remember back when Windows 3.11 first came out. Glad I'm not using that stuff anymore.

    Kinda makes ya wonder what future versions of any OS will end up looking like.

    I guess I was too busy on my C64 to have noticed Win 1.0. I don't think I've ever checked it out before. It sorta looks like an early Apple OS. Pretty cool site!

    Man, that brought back memories. I remember when they came out with GEOS for the Commodore 64. Used to control it with a joystick because we didn't have them new-fangled fancy-schmancy "mouses" like you kids have nowadays. Yep, all we had then was joysticks, and we were GRATEFUL for them, 'cause that was all we had then. And we LIKED IT!.

    *snort* dang kids these days!

    Wow that brings back memories. My first "real" computer was a Mac IIcx running system 6.0. Sure I had the atari but that was just used for kiddie games at the time... <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">


    Haven't seen a lot of that mac stuff for ages.
