Although the book itself seems to be of no particular note, it does feature Susan Kare’s New York as it is intended to be seen: In all its pixel glory. The cover is a mock-up of window graphics done in the pixel style of the Macintosh era; it may even not be a mock-up, it could be produced directly from Macintosh System Software screen graphics. The window titles are in Chicago, the same as the window title font in the Macintosh System.

Modula-2 was a popular programming language at universities (created by Niklaus Wirth and probably helped in academia by his association with ETH Zurich), and was used for some systems programming, but never became a well-known or well-used programming language on the Macintosh.
