Wimp != Apple
by Chris on Thu 26th Dec 2002 16:28 UTC

I know someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the whole Windows, Icons, Menus and Pointing device (WIMP) metaphor was pioneered by Xerox, not by Apple. Jobs and company made the first commercial success of it, but did not invent it.

Or am I mixing my metaphors again? ;)
