The Computer History Museum in Mountain View has worked with Apple to secure the release of the source code for the OS and office applications of the #AppleLisa computer.
Arguably, this is the earliest comprehensive #GUI environment for a personal computer, and it was first for sale 40 years ago today. It was written in a whole lot of #Pascal .

Thank you, Rowsdower.

Chaos may be a ladder, but ladders can lead down as well as up. They can also be lashed together and used as bridges across icy crevasses. You can fall off them and die before anyone even notices.
