Indeed - the Arc was way ahead of its time. I was particularly impressed
by the way saving files worked: you popped up a menu, went to the save
option, and up popped a submenu containing an icon representing the file;
you then simply dragged this to wherever you wanted to save it.
Incredibly elegant - it makes saving just another case of a normal file
move, unlike under every other OS, where saving (and opening) takes place
in a special dialogue box that's totally separate from normal
finder/explorer windows.

Mouse? Menu? Icon? Elegant? Gee, if I want to save the file to a
different place than where it came from, I just type the pathname after
the ":w" command.
