Exploring early GUIs

[dave.g4ugm at gmail.com]

Not sure if I missed it but the Atari ST also ran GEM from ROM. I have been using mine recently with a GoTek and Flash Floppy.
There are many emulators.  I remember when I first used it being fascinated by the fact you could do many tasks without using the keyboard.
Mind you I generally used it with Gulam a "unix like" shell with a built in Micro Emacs.
