Computer Chronicles on the Macintosh

Windows open, enjoying cool, fresh morning air and an episode of The Computer Chronicles: The Macintosh Computer on the Internet Archive. 1985 and they already had the Apple Laser Writer on the market and IBM already had a color graphical interface. There's even a pundit segment with a guy irritatingly predicting (correctly) that Apple would struggle getting into the business world. I was surprised that a visual database, FileVision, already existed. Also, a vector drawing app, GEM Draw, was already available on IBM with a much larger, color screen. GEM was a graphical windowing for the Atari ST computers and was IBM PC compatible.

I don't have comments but I love email or you can find me on Mastodon.
