<ducking, because it's not iSeries related>

I still have an A500+ on my spare desk.  Awesome machine: 8 MHz, 50 MB
SCSI HD, 1 MB Chip RAM, 8MB Fast Ram, 2 floppies.  And those 50MB never
got full...

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.
