Bill Atkinson was the principal designer and developer of the graphical user interface (GUI) of the Apple Lisa and Apple Macintosh. He was the creator of the ground-breaking MacPaint application and its novel interaction techniques, and he also designed and implemented QuickDraw, the fundamental toolbox that the Lisa and Macintosh used for graphics. He also conceived, designed and implemented HyperCard, the first popular hypermedia system. He invented many now-common interaction techniques, including the menu bar, the marching ants selection used in painting programs, the Selection lasso, FatBits, pull-off menus (where a menu becomes a palette), and many others.

- AlbertCory 4y agothere's also a video of Bill on "The Computer Chronicles" talking about HyperCard, in 1987 or so. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FquNpWdf9vg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FquNpWdf9vg I reference this show in The Big Bucks. I went to all kinds of trouble to find out when, exactly the show aired in 1987, and finally gave up.
