Abstract	Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. On behalf of myself andthe panelists and SIGGRAPH, I'd like to welcome each of you to oursession this afternoon.This afternoon we're going to be talking about operating systemsand graphics user interfaces. Of course, I'm the panel chairperson.My name -- J. Paul Grayson, the chairman and CEO of Micrografx, andI feel very fortunate this afternoon to have a number ofdistinguished speakers here with me. I'd like to briefly introduceeach one of those.As you're probably aware from looking at the program, there havebeen some last minute changes in the speakers. But I think we'revery fortunate to have a number of unique and talented individualswith us this afternoon. So I feel very good about the speakers thatwe have.The first speaker this afternoon is Chris Espinosa, who is atechnical consultant at Apple, but I think that description reallydoesn't do Chris justice at all. Many of you are aware that Chrishas been in the personal computer business about as long as it hasexisted. He was one of the original members of the Home BrewComputer Club, was actually employee number eight at AppleComputer, and is now the most senior employee at AppleComputer.While at Apple he's had a number of significant accomplishments.He was originally responsible for the Apple II, was on the originalMacintosh development team, was the author of the Macintosh userinterface specifications, and has also been the product manager forHypercard.The second speaker today will be Martin Dunsmuir, who is thedirector of Presentation Manager development for Microsoft. Martinhas been with Microsoft for approximately four years. He is fromthe U.K., from Britain. So you may notice a slight accent. He waspreviously the director of Zenix Development for Microsoft. He wasresponsible for Zenix 386. He is also responsible for PMX, was partof the technical team that sold the PM behavior, the PM userinterface to the OSF Motif Group, and has been the OS/2Presentation Manager director since about March.The third speaker changed so recently I didn't have a chance toupdate his slide. So rather than Tommy Steele today, from IBM wehave Dr. Mike Edwards. Mike is a software engineer in the PMtechnical office. He's been on assignment in Boca Raton forapproximately 18 months, having originally been in Hursley as aHursley PM developer, and I think he was planning on going back toHursley in the next few days and got called in to do this. So Ithink his wife had to take care of some of the business, likeselling the car and the house, while he came to Boston.Mike also has a very interesting background. He got intographics while he was a student at Birmingham University inEngland, and he was part of a team of people that won a Nobel Prizein 1983 for particle physics. And I hope you'll hold your questionsabout particle physics until after the presentation is over.The last speaker today is also a very distinguished gentleman.Guy or "Bud" Tribble is a founder of NeXT, where he now overseesall of the systems software development. Previous to that he was asoftware manager for Apple where he oversaw the system andapplication software development for the Macintosh and for theApple II.The panel format this afternoon -- we'll hear each of thespeakers in the order that I've mentioned. Between each speaker Iwill probably ask one or two questions to try to draw outparticular topics from the speakers. Then after the final speaker,we'll open it up for questions from the audience.Please join me now in welcoming our first speaker, ChrisEspinosa.
