it was done with a 5 mhz computer 21 years ago. canon was stupid then

there was a time when the mac team had to choose among two different
design paradigms. steve jobs was so taken by the xerox design that he
chose what became the mac now. the other design went to canon and
canon bungled it. thats the design i am researching now and a lot of
people are saying that its a viable alternative to the mac wimp ui. it
is just as powerful and it requires only a fraction of effort and
resources to develop. steve jobs made a mistake. but thats only my
opinion and about many tens of retired apple engineers.
Are you referring to the computer that Jef Raskin worked on in Apple
as the first Macintosh prototype?
Speaking of limitation and alternative UI, pls checkout:
