Nice read!

It is really interesting to see in 
https://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?project=Macintosh&story=Busy_Being_Born.txt 
, how the initial Lisa UI was an exact copy of Smalltalk, and how it got 
different bit by bit until the Mac was released. I think that going to 
non-proportional scrollbar thums, and moving the menu bar to the top of 
the display were big mistakes.

Thanks,
