Who invented the GUI, was RE: Moving to Mac

> XEROX

Well, yes, Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center developed the first GUI,
ancestor of the Lisa (anybody remember that Mac-forerunner?), Macintosh,
WinDoze, the Amiga, XWindows, GEM, GEOS, and other GUIs even more obscure.

Didn't they also invent SmallTalk?

But today's Macintosh L&F is hardly even recognizable as the same
look-and-feel as what you got on a Mac128.
