- dredmorbius 5y agoBitmapped displays were rare in 1982. The Apple Macintosh was 2 years away, as was X11 (the X Windowing System) for Unix. Even the Macintosh predecessor Lisa was released in 1983. The Andrew Project dates to 1982. The Xerox Star and Apollo systems date to 1981, the year prior to Ariel's release. Only the Xerox Alto significantly preceded Ariel (1973), but it was not widely used.
