You Can't Coach That

A blast from the past - GUI gallery

This may be considered ultra geeky but I found this interesting and quite fun to have a look at. Nathan Lineback has put together a gallery of Graphical User Interfaces of various platforms over the years.

Here is a sample from Windows 3.1

Wow, 640x480 with 16 colours!

There is plenty of anti-Microsoft stuff on the site but if you can ignore all that it is fun to poke around and see how things used to be. If found the screen shots from the Amiga OS from 1985 very interesting.

Check out the gallery here

Looking at the Windows 3.1 GUI brings back a lot memories. Very nice find.

Well, back then it was all that, a bag of chips and a soda.  Thanks for sharing.

More memorable for me was the Mosaic browser where I previewed my first web page in all its 16-bit-coloured wonder.
