Coat

Why is LLC bothering with such a waste of time?

mutliple displays off the same machine as seperate workspaces were done

BEFORE the GUI became a reality on text only mainframes...

Im not old enough to have ever done anything that dismantle one and it

seems blatantly obvious to me...

tools like "screen" and "synergy" make this a moot point and "public domain" in a sense as well... are they going to go after *everyone* !?!?

I'll take the coat with anti-static lining and covered in cat fur from my pet...

It's not multiple workspaces!

It's one workspace.

On a Cube!

That freakin' Spins!

Wouldn't Englebart's (fairly well distributed) video from 1968 be applicable? Does the patent office even have folks who can watch TV, let alone read?
