Specially when I see developers happily coding as if they had a PDP-11 on their lap.
⬐ NumberwangInteresting video. The response time is clearly better than OS X, but this OS will never take off with those fonts.⬐ seltzered_Another version of this video (with Alan Key reviewing this same video from the 70's later in 1987 and giving some more context) is: "alan kay - doing with images makes symbols" http://archive.org/details/AlanKeyD1987?start=2240⬐ nilsimsaI wish this software was still around to play with in some sort of simulator.⬐ iconfinderCan somebody provide some context for the video?It's incredible to see how many of the concepts in this video is still present in a modern user interface.
