GUIdebook: Graphical User Interface Gallery

I don’t link much to computer stuff here, but I found the above link on MetaFilter yesterday, and I thought it was neat.

And I’m not a Mac person, but I thought these were really cool as well: a 40-page Macintosh ad from Newsweek in 1984, and a series of posters commemorating the 20th anniversary of the Mac. There’s some more interesting stuff if you poke around the main site.

This all makes me feel like I’m a kid again. Sigh.

Sometimes I wish I’d grown up on Macs. They’re elegant and simple, but I’ve never been able to get used to them. I used a Mac at work for an entire year a while back, and I still preferred my PC. Had I had a Mac as a kid, perhaps I’d be a Mac person today, and I could be part of the Cult of Mac.

Oh, here it is.

Matt can attest to the fact that I was drooling over this full-page ad in the special Men’s Fashions section of the New York Times Magazine this past weekend. Apparently he’s Jeremy Bloom, a professional skier and NCAA football player.

Enjoy.
