Magic Desk 1
Released in 1983 by Commodore, Magic Desk I is a ROM cartridge that presents the functions of the computer as a virtual desktop. The product was described as an attempt to make the Commodore 64 "people literate" (as opposed to making people "computer literate"). Magic Desk was a planned series of productivity software by Commodore Business Machines for the Commodore 64. Only the first entry, Type and File, was ever released. It was introduced at the summer edition of the 1983 Consumer Electronics Show in June, slated for an August 31 release. Commodore developed the Magic Desk suite both in response to a perceived lack of productivity software for the Commodore 64 and to the graphical user interface of the Apple Lisa.
