  • Look at me!  I'm posting on a mac!

  • Somehow, we still tolerate each other. Eventually this will be the only forum left.

<div style='font: 12pt "Cooper Black"; text-align: left; '>GUI
(Graphical User Interface) A graphics-based user interface that incorporates movable windows, icons and a mouse. The ability to resize application windows and change style and size of fonts are the significant advantages of a GUI vs. a character-based interface. GUIs have become the standard way users interact with a computer, and the major GUIs are the Windows and Mac interfaces along with Motif for Unix and the GNOME and KDE interfaces for Linux. See NUI, TUI, MUI, drag and drop, desktop manager, window manager and Star. Contrast with CUI.

The First Commercial GUI
Xerox's Star workstation was the first commercial implementation of the graphical user interface. The Star was introduced in 1981 and was the inspiration for the Mac and all the other GUIs
