Eric, Re: You should have pointed out that the use of GUI and API, ....heck, personal computers in general were inventions of none other than APPLE. It looks like you haven't done your homework very well. You express a very common misconception. The fact is that Jobs "borrowed" all that stuff from Xerox's PARC center. He legitimized the heist by hiring their researchers and engineers. And as you know, he then sued Microsoft for borrowing it from Apple. Now you know the rest of the story. Len

Eric, your looking quite silly again...you state: You should have pointed out that the use of GUI and API, ....heck, personal computers in general were inventions of none other than APPLE. You ever here of Xerox and their line of desktop workstations? ...and again you contort fact by stating: Apple pioneered the use of 5.25" and 3.5" floppy drives, as well as CD-ROM in personal computers. You ever hear of Sony? And the use of Sony products in Xerox equipment? ...and you continue to spew: Apple pioneered desktop publishing market with the help of PageMaker and LaserWriter. Read "with the help of"...at least you got that right. Adobe, HP, Xerox (first vector-based printing language before postscript). *Sigh*

Eric - Re: " the use of GUI and API, ....heck, personal computers in general were inventions of none other than APPLE." Get serious - what are you, ten years old? The GUI was invented by XEROX PARC - on the 1970s ! Jobs's visit and tour of PARC and his "lifting" of these ideas has been catalogued in many, many books. Take your Apple Love and read up on the theft of Xerox's ideas by Steve Jobs and Apple. Re: "Apple pioneered the laptop market with its PowerBook in 1991." What about the Toshiba Laptop I used to use in 1989 ? Did Apple invent the Time Machine and re-write Hitory? Paul
