Another tech legend for discussion!

VisiOn...Wow, haven't thought about that software for a while. Anybody ever use it??....I remember it was a pig, requiring lots of memory+CPU (8088 @ 4.77Mhz weren't going to cut it) and it was the first package that required a mouse! Back in 1985 I did get a chance to evaluate/use Microsoft Windows 1.0 and Digital Research GEM (GEM was so much better!) A even better package for multitasking was the original QuarterDeck DesQ (they later bastardized down to a more popular lite version called DesQView). DesQ multitasked well esp. on the original PC architecture. Any know where I can find disk images for the software mentioned above?

I have another tech legend to be dicussed: It is generally believed that the Apple Lisa is what spurred Bill Gates to create Windows. But recently I have read something that says it was *not* the Lisa that inspired Bill Gates, but that it was VisiCorp's VisiOn software (remember that, yeah, me neither!). So my question is: Which one was it? Was it Lisa or VisiOn? ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
