I think they were all pretty much the same sort of time. I remember the hype and fuss when Apple launched the Lisa, which I think was the first of their GUI systems. That must have been 1984-ish. X Windows was around at pretty much the same time and Sun were shipping X-based GUIs as part of SunOS very soon after. I don't recall M$ introducing Windows, but I'm fairly sure it was mid-80s. You might argue that Windows 3.0 was where it all started for most people and that definitely didn't launch until the 90s. > It's interesting to note that most of the above took place in the 80s > not the 90s as most people seem to think. Lots of people in IT today were barely out of nappies then :) James -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
