I remember taking the first Apple Lisa in the UK to be
demonstrated on
Tomorrows World.
They had me in the studio as the program went out live.
I sat on an unused display block about three feet off camera in case of
problems.
Presenters: Kiren Prendeville (photographic memory), Maggie Philbin
(very nervous), Judith Hann( Nice lady - brought me a coffee!!)
Hehe, I remember telling my 'O' Level Computer Studies teacher about that
program the next day, trying to explain the idea of the mouse/GUI combo.
His response?
'It'll never catch on'
