Episode description

More Visi-fun ahead! Today we are looking at Visi On, a visionary user interface developed for home computers. Along the way we will discuss smalltalk, portability, and how the slick graphics over at Xerox were adapted to run on smaller machines.   Selected Sources:   http://toastytech.com/guis/vision.html - Toasty Tech's Visi On page, with screenshots and downloads for emulation   https://archive.org/details/byte-magazine-1983-06/page/n255/mode/2up - A Guided Tour of Visi On   https://archive.org/details/RosettaSmalltalkACM1979/mode/1up - Rosetta Smalltalk
