Macintosh and the first affordable GUI
Apple had its own plan to regain leadership: a
sophisticated new generation of computers that would be
dramatically easier to use. In 1979 Jobs had led a team
of engineers to see the innovations created at the Xerox
Corporation's Palo Alto (California) Research Center (PARC).
There they were shown the first functional graphical
user interface (GUI), featuring on-screen windows, a
pointing device known as a mouse, and the use of icons,
or pictures, to replace the awkward protocols required
by all other computers. Apple immediately incorporated
these ideas into two new computers: Lisa, released in
1983, and the lower-cost Macintosh, released in 1984.
Jobs himself took over the latter project, insisting
that the computer should be not merely great but
"insanely great." The result was a
revelation--perfectly in tune with the unconventional,
science-fictionesque television commercial that
introduced the Macintosh during the broadcast of the
1984 Super Bowl--a $2,500 computer unlike any
that preceded it.
