Exactly... Jeez this guy has so much love for Apple, he rewrites History. A lot of the great ideas for the MAC, like the GUI, mouse, trashcan, even the 1 color desktop [grey], was lifted from the Xerox 860 STAR Deskstation. I know, I used to SELL them, and I had a mac in 1984, and remarked on the incredible similarities. Hell, Apple even copied the pricing scheme form the Xerox Star , it charged TOO MUCH for it's machines, and lost the market to WinTel. I will never forgive Apple, and Jobs, for abandonning the Apple II owners/market. the bastard never gave us a chance to upgrade to the MAC, and abandonned us. F*** Him. I will never buy a MAC again. Viva Wintel My new P2-400, with WIN98 Kicks serious butt !! What a chip... Wow! 3-4 seconds load times, including splash screens Take care Paul Jean

Obviously you feel that Zorg the caveman was responsible for inventing the automobile. I rather give that credit to Henry Ford and other early car makers. Have you see the ALTO? The interface and API bears little resemblance to our operating system today.Take a look on your Windows desktop. Fundamental things that makes GUI OS what it is today like drag-drop came straight from Apple. mackido.com For comments from those who invented the GUI based OS mackido.com mackido.com Eric
