I’ll link to sites of interest, just click the title (<q>℅</q> stands for “<a href="http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/care_of" rel="external">Care Of</a>”). </p><p> The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RISC_OS" rel="external">RISC OS</a> <abbr>GUI</abbr> is one of my favourites. For a 1992 OS with a distinctly British flavour it had many innovative features, many which no other OS had at the time and still some that no OS has even today. </p><p> The linked site details many of the fascinating and weird quirks of the RISC OS UI. </p> <!-- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ --> </article> <footer> <nav><a href="http://forum.camendesign.com">‹ Discuss this in the Forum ›</a></nav> <a href="mailto:kroc@camendesign.com">kroc@camendesign.com</a> <nav>view-source: <a href="/link/risc-os_gui.rem">Rem</a> • <a href="/link/risc-os_gui.html">HTML</a> • <a href="/design/">CSS</a> • <a href="/.system/">PHP</a> • <a href="/.htaccess">.htaccess</a> </nav> <form method="get" action="https://duckduckgo.com"> <input type="hidden" name="sites" value="camendesign.com" /> <input type="search" name="q" placeholder="search…" /> <input type="submit" value="Go" /> </form> </footer> <!-- =================================================================================================== code is art === -->
