I have some old (late seventies/early eighties) computer graphics books that
have entire chapters on windows. What about the Lisa. It came out in 1983,
but I'm assuming that Apple used the term 'window' to describe it's
interface prior to it's actual release. What about TopView? Was it pre 1983?
Probably not.
