Just remembered what the I? in WIMP stood for - Window Icon Mouse Pointer.....
And the Amiga did it better than Microsloth ever has. Things sch as "shortcuts" on the Workbench - with Windows since 3.1 every programme sticks one there without you asking and thay jst clutter your screen without doing anything useful. (Actually that was the good point about Win3.1 - it kept your stuff in user defined boxes so you could find them). The Amiga, on the other hand allowed you to locate anything - a programe, a single document or a drawer containing data/programmes etc. - and temporarily "leave it out" on thw workbench. When you no longer needed it available, you just clicked on a "Put Away" menu item and the item goes back to the drawer it lives in.
Don't know about the Mackintosh - I've never had much contact with them other than for keeping the rain off...
Quack!
