that was good to scroll through:) very complete imo.
always wondered, when looking at ui-history, about russian, japanese or others, what did they use in the early starts of computer science?...thinking about japanese, you should incorporate console uis in it :)- Some interesting old Japanese computers, Sharp X68000 etc look awesomePIZZA

Yeah I'd definitely love to have another one of these for Console UIs, they would be harder to scout for on the web, though.

windows 3.1 and 95 looked good, same with early mac, but that hasn't changed as much.

Nicely done. Thanks for the trip down memory-lane. Makes me yearn for the 90's.

Like that allot, good to see you put Xerox down for the first people to design the true GUI and not Apple as allot of people think was responsible.

Took me way back. I remember calling up my math blaster and draw programs on DOS growing up. I was one of the first kids in my class to have a computer in my room.
When I had one of my first jobs, Windows ME came out shortly after and they installed it on everything. All of our computers basically self destructed.
Memories.
