Re: It's the data harvesting

@Pompus Git - Um, no. Take a look at the original PARC/STAR GUI and compare it to that of the Lisa/Mac. The Apple version is obviously not a copy. They took some of the ideas and ran with them. Others they forgot about, yet more were completely new to the Mac. They even back-ported some of the ideas in the Mac to the Lisa. The metaphors of a GUI settled down and standardised in large part due to the manuals that Apple wrote on how to design a good GUI.
