There was quite a bit of GUI competition that predated Mac 1. And some of them were pretty kick butt (DESQView being one of my all time favorites).

Why don't you get some knowledge before you spout off? DESQview was released in JULY of 1985, one and a half YEARS after Apple released the Macintosh GUI... nor was it a full GUI.

Apple put a MULTI touch screen on a phone... not a touch screen... and phones prior to the Apple used STYLUS to interface... that could get lost. You make it dang obvious you really don't know what you are talking about...

DesqView still worked better than Mac (and Windows). And we ALL know about PARC, so regardless of which came before Mac we all know there was GUI before Mac.

And if you think a multitouch screen is that massive a difference you need to think again. It’s still a touch screen interface. And no they didn’t all need stylus, most of them what the stylus did was add precision, just like the styluses you get on the POS card machines in stores today, you don’t need it, it’s just there.

You really make it dang obvious you just thrash around desperate to find one little thing that’s beside the main point so you can claim Apple invented stuff everybody knows they didn’t. Which is why you need to constantly lie, throw insults, then whine that everybody else is a troll. I know your MO, I’ve seen it before, from you, abandon a section you’ve clearly lost, scramble about, find one little thing, usually by twisting what was said, and pretend that means you were right about everything. Meanwhile you’re actually wrong about everything because you’re pretending Apple did it first and they didn’t, not anything that actually matters. Ooh they added multitouch over the touch screens everybody else had on there, big effen deal, still a freaking touchscreen on a freaking cellphone with others did first. Get over yourself, get over Apple.
