A History of Icons

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the you-mean-like-marilyn-monroe dept.

John H. Doe writes "The GUIdebook has a great page illustrating the history of icons. Of course, they have the Lisa/Mac/OS X paths, but there's the Windows progressions, along with entries for NeXT, OS/2, BeOS, and yes, Linux. Would you call it progress?"

    Mods, why is this offtopic? Since the site was slashdotted within minutes of the story appearing, it seems pretty freakin' relevant to me. How are we supposed to discuss this? Is it a wonder people don't read the articles when they're slashdotted half the time? I think Coral links are a great idea for smaller sites.
