I had a Saturday job at a computer shop when the Mac came out, and we got one as a demo. I remember just staring at the genius of those rounded corners in the corners of the screen, and thinking how beautiful it was that they'd thought of that.

On my first actual job, we did that with Apple II software. You don't only lose the corners, but you need to lose a whole column of pixels to make the rounded corner work on a checkered background.
