An article about the history of user interfaces that ignores the Xerox Alto? The article has the WIMP interface and graphical desktops emerging from the graphics of 8-bit home computers. The article also ignores that TUIs came from terminals like the VT100 that had cursor positioning, instead claiming that home computers were the source of moving cursors around the screen. The article goes into plenty of obscure details (e.g. where Bucky bits came from), but the history is very strange.
- pvg 3y agoIt's really an article about CUA, the slug is a better title than the actual title.
