37 ;;Quote: in Lisa, open a hard disk by clicking on its icon
37 ;;Quote: a Lisa window includes buttons in the margin; the folder button closes the window
37 ;;Quote: in Lisa, change the size of a window by the expand/contract icon
38 ;;Quote: desktop metaphor reminds you of common procedures and available operations; novices learn in less than 30 minutes

38 ;;Quote: because of Lisa's trash can, folders, reports, and tools do not just disappear; they were either thrown away or filed somewhere
