Bruno

BRUNO was the first commercial computer software program for creating presentations (Presentation program) using a WYSIWYG user interface. BRUNO, which originated on the Hewlett Packard HP 1000 F-Series computer, was developed by Jim Long and Philip Walden of Hewlett Packard.^{[citation needed]} The application was finished in 1979 and was used around the world by HP customers. BRUNO was later ported to the HP-3000^[1] and renamed HP-Draw.^[2]^[3]

Trivia

Bruno was named after a hand puppet used to train field sales representatives.
Bruno became HP-Draw mostly because Robert Dea, a HP-3000 team member, and Philip Walden shared work topics during their long van pool rides.
