From GUI to SUI – The SortFix Way

From GUI to SUI – The SortFix Way

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.
