From GUI to SUI – The SortFix Way
On my last post I talked about the progression of GUIs, on this post I will try to different our SUI – search User Interface from a non GUI search engine.
As a child I was always fascinated by computer graphics and especially user interfaces. No, I wasn’t a geek exploring and researching user interfaces, but many of my decisions — which computer game to play, what kind of computer I wanted for my 13th birthday — were based on the design of the computer’s GUI.
All of my friends bought early versions of IBM’s PC XT 286, which had only a CLI and no GUI. I didn’t go with the flow. I preferred the AMIGA computer (Amiga 500),which was far less popular, had less games, but had absolutely stunning graphics, games and resolution. The AMIGA boasted an early edition of a Windows-style operating system.
