"Apple's fabled "change the world" theme"

I've said this before... Apple has already changed the world. If not for Apple Windows would not be in existence today.

Mouse driven interfaces would be a gimmicky fad and we would all be using a souped-up version of PC Tools. Those of you who had used a PC ten years ago know what that is.

In fact, the large brunt of the die hard PC users no only resisted the Mac, but Windows as well. "Why do I need a mouse when I can use the cursor keys to move around my menus?"

It was Bill Gate's respect for the Mac that prompted him to imitate it.

And so the world was changed.
