I also remember the first version of Smalltalk from Digitalk that was character based and windowed. It was called Methods. I can’t seem to find any reference to it on the web now.

I always thought of what I learned in some philosophy class, that there are only two ways to generate a contradiction.

One way is to reason from a false premise, or as I would put it, something we think is true is not true.

The other way is to mix logical levels (“this sentence is false”).

I don’t think I ever encountered a bug from mixing logical levels, but the false premise was a common culprit.

As an “enterprise” developer in the 80’s, we all had beepers to go along with our suits and ties. People often thought we must be doctors, but we were just corporate mainframe developers.

Along with DESQView and IBM’s TopView as already mentioned, this reminded me of the first version of PC Smalltalk put out by Digitalk that was called “Smalltalk Methods”. It was a character based windowed Smalltalk.

This was quickly followed with the full bit mapped windowed Smalltalk/V. I believe all of this was when MS Windows still only had tiled windows without overlap.
