| dbo:abstract |
Metaphor Computer Systems (1982–1994) was an American computer company that created an advanced workstation, database gateway, unique graphical office interface, and software applications that "seamlessly integrate" data from both internal and external sources. The Metaphor machine was one of the first commercial workstations to offer a complete hardware/software package and a GUI, including "a wireless mouse and a wireless five-function key pad". Although the company achieved some commercial success, it never achieved the fame of either the Apple Macintosh or Microsoft Windows. (en) Metaphor foi uma empresa criada em 1982 por integrantes do laboratório Xerox PARC e que desenvolveu uma estação de trabalho bastante avançada para sua época. O equipamento em questão oferecia uma interface gráfica inovadora, baseada na metáfora de um escritório, um gateway de banco de dados, uma placa de rede local padrão Ethernet e aplicações que, já naquela época, implementavam o conceito de cliente-servidor. O equipamento desenvolvido pela Metaphor foi um dos primeiros a oferecer um pacote completo de hardware e software e uma interface gráfica. Apesar de ter obtido um razoável sucesso comercial, o equipamento nunca ameaçou a fama e a popularidade do Macintosh, da Apple Inc., ou do Windows, da Microsoft. A companhia foi adquirida por um de seus maiores clientes, a IBM, em 1992. (pt) |
