The link to the YouTube video of "The Mother of All Demos" is dead. I found another one here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJDv-zdhzMY

Not sure how a 2011 article can be a copy of a 2014 article.

Edit: especially since the 2014 article links back to this one in the paragraph:

> Within 10 minutes of seeing Xerox’s GUI advancement, Steve Jobs proclaimed that “all computers would work like this someday.” In exchange for a pre-IPO purchase of Apple stock, Xerox allowed Jobs and his engineering team three days’ access to PARC to scope out the Alto and its development tools.

I did not notice that. I thought it is worth sharing. Anyways, Thank you for showing the link. Is there any way I can check if it is published before?

The search down the bottom is pretty good now-a-days, I've used it successfully to find similar posts in the past few weeks.

We need a system like the one on SO.

I tried running a program originally written for 80386-class CPUs on a Core i7, it didn't magically get a intuitive GUI. Weird.

You're missing the essential component of artistic creativity.

But here and there are actually two different things that can coexist and, combined, give us the best of both worlds. A lot of developers use OSX and the terminal.
