What’s Old is NeWS Again

Nearly twenty years ago now, the father of the Java programming language spear-headed a rather different idea for its time. GUIs were still in their infancy, but James Gosling and David Rosenthal envisioned a system whereby rich applications could be seamlessly delivered over the low-bandwidth networks of the time. Even better, the system was designed such that if you could see it on the screen, you could print it. That system was called New extensible Windowing System, or NeWS for short.

Great blog entry (imo) about NeWS and AJAX.
