The world’s FIRST modern computer interface. A GUI, a mouse, a desktop. It’s all there. FIFTY years ago. This is such a cool story.
“I’m sitting in front of a computer, looking at its graphical user interface with overlapping windows on a high-resolution screen. I interact with the computer by pointing and clicking with a mouse and typing on a keyboard. I’m using a word processor with the core features and functions of Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or LibreOffice’s Writer, along with an email client that could be mistaken for a simplified version of Apple Mail, Microsoft Outlook, or Mozilla Thunderbird. This computer runs other software, written using object-oriented programming, just like the popular programming languages Python, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, and R. Its networking capabilities can link me to other computers and to high-quality laser printers.”
But, he’s not sitting in front of an M1 MacBook, or a modern Lenovo laptop. It’s a restore Alta.
