> System 1 (1984) had check marks on the menu and "x boxes", which are equivalent, but not checkboxes afaik I think it had (https://andymatuschak.org/files/papers/Apple%20Human%20Interface%20Guidelines%201987.pdf https://andymatuschak.org/files/papers/Apple%20Human%20Inter..., page 56) I don’t know whether those were the first, but https://skeuomorphic.design/p/from-paper-ballots-to-pixels-tracing https://skeuomorphic.design/p/from-paper-ballots-to-pixels-t... claims they were, in the sense that the Mac made radio buttons different from toggle buttons. Does anybody know in what cultures a checkmark would be inappropriate, as that page claims?
