The Macintosh User Interface evolved from the Apple Lisa, a computer I’ve always longed to add to my collection. The Computer History Museum calls it Apple’s Most Influential Failure but readily acknowledges the groundbreaking effect it had on the way we interact with computers.
Now anyone with a web browser can experience this pioneering user interface and see what was revolutionary in 1983. Andrew Yaros’ LisaGUI.com lets you experience it firsthand, including the original Lisa apps. Spend some time here and then read about the Lisa OS development at folklore.org – one of my favorites is Rosing’s Rascals.
