`Graphical Kernel System 11. A computer graphics stan (cid:173)

`keyboard, mouse, and monitor) rather than with individual
`devices. Graphical Kernel System was developed in 1978

`options by pointing and clicking with a mouse or, often,
`with the keyboard. A particular item (such as a scroll bar)
`works the same way for the user in all applications.
`because the graphical user interface provides standard soft(cid:173)
