It's interesting you raise the issue of the GUI as a natural evolution. I remember in the mid-80s when I had my first Amiga, the complete disdain that practically anyone I knew who owned a computer felt towards a GUI or computer with graphics was amazing. It certainly took time and visionaries to push the idea of a GUI, not as an optional gimmick, but bundle it with every machine - or as with the mac, make do with ONLY a GUI. for 15 years or more.
