Apple's idea of "visual |interface" includes the latter, along with overlapping windows, etc. You know, that got me to thinking. Ever since it came out, Amigados's windowing system has had a lot more in common with Apple's Mac displays than anything I know of (including the trash can). I wonder why Apple hasn't gone after CA?
