For starters, excellent early history showing that unix and lisp are not direct relatives.

One small note that occurs to me is that in Mashey and Kernighan '84, they point at unix's shell's success at stopping people more C. 1/?? (but two for my purposes here)

STORAGE is a Medley Interlisp tool that shows a bar chart of the amount of storage allocated to each Lisp data type. The black part of a bar represents the number of items or pages currently in use, the gray part the number of free items or pages.

Screenshot of the black and white desktop of a 1980s graphical workstation environment. The desktop has a gray background pattern and some windows with a white background and a title bar with white text on a black background. The main window shows a bar chart laid out horizontaly. Each bar has a black and a gray part and a text label next to it.

My design goal on websites is that bright young teenagers could learn HTML and CSS with the "View Source" button without having to decipher obfuscated code that looks like it's meant to summon a Lovecraftian horror.

Edsger W. Dijkstra (1975):

"The tools we use have a profound (and devious!) influence on our thinking habits, and, therefore, on our thinking abilities."

I hear you like dialogs and property sheets, so here goes. This is the TEdit rich text editor of Medley Interlisp with an open document and the free menus (i.e. dialogs) for controlling text attributes, paragraph formatting, page layout, index and TOC.

The desktop has a gray background pattern and some windows with a white background and a title bar with white text on a black background. The main window shows a document open in a word processor. Above the main window, one above the other, are 4 dialog boxes for controlling various properties of the formatting and layout of the document.
