Deskfile
This project demonstrates an email management system with a graphical user interface.
Deskfile utitlzed both the user's desktop and optical discs for storage, a departure
from client server models of the time. Individual emails contained icons demarcating
the sender and subject, and could be sorted by selecting the icons. Once again, this project had the extensive use of highlighting text.
Foreshadowing:
Post Office Protocol (POP) based email
GUI email cleints Outlook/Thunderbird
IM buddy icons
