Page "Adele Goldberg (computer scientist)" Paragraph 3

Many of the concepts developed by Goldberg and her team at PARC became the basis for graphically based user interfaces, replacing the earlier command line based systems.

According to Goldberg, Steve Jobs demanded a demonstration of the Smalltalk System, which she refused to give him.

Her superiors eventually ordered her to, at which point she complied, satisfied that the decision to " give away the kitchen sink " to Jobs and his team was then their responsibility.

Apple eventually used many of the ideas in the Alto and their implementations as the basis for their Macintosh desktop.
