We were doing Midi sequencing on an a Amiga with Cubase back in the late
80's. Still one of the best sequencers available.

Thanks,

Did any of you ever work with the Amiga ? THAT was an incredibly bleeding
edge piece of equipment. I will never forget the first time I saw one. I
was
still messing around on a character based PC that was "state of the art"
and
a friend got an Amiga and the demo showed a beet being poured into a tall
glass and it was unbelievably real looking !

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.
