- - - - A Graphical User Interface is controlled by a pointer on the
      - screen and uses a screen made up of windows, icons and
      - menus. This feature is called WIMP (windows, icons, menus
      - and pointing device used to move pointer to select them)
      - o Windows are areas of the screen that are dedicated to
      - applications or operating system tasks
      - o Icons are small images that represent an application
      - o Menus provide options for tasks relating to the
      - operating system or open application
      - • It is user friendly and the easiest type of interface but it takes
      - up more memory and storage than a CLI or menu driven
      - interface.
