As I remember using a Sun box with a GUI interface in about 1985ish (and it had been around for some time then),
Indeed. About 1983 for me. The MAC came out in 1984, and I recall Windows followed other, technically better products for the PC.
the GUI is hardly new or innovative in 2009. What is disappointing is the complete inability to move beyond ideas in that initial interface in the 24+ years since. It has been dressed up in all sorts of fancy clothes since, but the underlying semantics have not changed much.
You mean like the floating menu bars or that Microsoft thing .. the strip, or whatever it was called. -- A hollow voice says, "A hollow voice says, 'Plugh'." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
