A look at the forgotten computer,
By
This review is from: The Complete Book of Lisa (Harper & Row Hands on Computer Books) (Paperback)
This 1984's book explains the ideas behind Lisa's GUI and its seven applications. Since mouse-operated computers were a rarity 20 years ago, the author describes everything with a great level of detail -- complete with screenshots of most menus, crucial dialog boxes, mouse pointers, etc. When read today, it is a fascinating testimony to where we started and how far have we gone. It's unbelievable how many things were already there in Lisa's system, but even more astonishing how often users had to put up with system's limitations. The book also contains basic information about Apple Lisa, as well as tear-in-the-eye conclusion about Lisa's future.
