You did not ask me, and it was not quite 20 years ago, but 18 years ago I designed a graphical interface for third wave technologies that was developing an integrated message, calendar and contact management software for windows. They had planned a word processing application as well, but funding ran out.
Of course that was right about the time that visual basic was released (thanks Alan Cooper) and most developers thought they had everything they needed to do interface design for windows. I think it took another three years before I got my next UI project.
