(John Norstad) says:

'[taking "old" ideas and "reinventing" them in the context of
modern PCs and direct-manipulation interfaces] is much more
interesting, exciting, and important work than  simply tacking
"GUIs" on top of traditional command-line systems, e.g., X
and NextStep on top of UNIX and Windows 3.0 on top of DOS.'

Amen!

Amen!

Amen!
