The Lisa UI looks clunky and ugly to modern eyes (akin to though not as bad as other early GUIs like Windows 1.0 and OS/2 Presentation Manager), while the original Macintosh still looks clean and well thought out.

Goes to show you why you shouldn't kick Steve Jobs off of your project.

Does absolutely everything related to Apple have to turn into a Steve Jobs memorial wank?


I really prefer the way Lisa hid the applications and used an office supplies metaphor to create documents rather than opening an application, generating the document and then saving it.

Ouch.


Pascal? The Horror of It All! Good riddance.


What is so bad about Pascal? I never used it too much, but it seemed like a neat language.
