http://www.Alfred.TV READ ME FIRST: The intro is VERY long. Let it buffer for 5 minutes to skip directly to the Lisa demo. Filmed in 1984, Alfred (yes, that's me) demonstrates the $10,000 Apple Lisa computer on a tri-state cable channel. This was a very early 'mass introduction' to a system that had a graphical user interface, icons, pull down menus, and a rodential input device called 'a mouse.'

Hey man, if they never perfected the GUI, you probably would still be playing pong and using DOS. You've got to start somewhere.

By the time it takes to load the calculator, you could easily just pull one out of your desk if you have it. The Lisa was cutting edge for its time though. Thanks for posting!

halo3d, When you were two you could only crap your pants, I'm guessing your capabilities have improved since then. They weren't POS processors back then, they were state of the art for their time. If not for them you would not have quad cores today, like you, they have improved.

lol wow.. the guy changes font size and the woman goes.. thats amazing rofl.. amazing what happens in 20 or so years.. back then we had piece of shit processors barely being able to run notepad like apps.. and now we have quad cores .. many gigs of ram and games like crysis etc.

"Let me continue typing" ... "CLUNK CLUNK CLUNK!" I thought that was funny for some reason.

Yeah, that doesn't work so well on Vista.
