No. it is stupid to the degree of boneheadedness, because Apple didn't "rip off" Xerox - they made a deal, quid pro quo, where Xerox got Apple shares, and Apple got to use Xerox's ideas. -- regards , Peter B.

No. it is stupid to the degree of boneheadedness, because Apple didn't "rip off" Xerox - they made a deal, quid pro quo, where Xerox got Apple shares, and Apple got to use Xerox's ideas. Where did I say anything about stealing? My point, which was quite clear, was that Apple is rarely an innovator. They often have good implementations of an existing idea. The Ipod is an excellent example. They clearly didn't invent the mp3 player, but they certainly do make excellent ones. I have one myself and like it a lot. I find it funny to point fingers at MS and say "look they're copying the UI" when that is exactly what Apple did. I'm also not saying its wrong -- I just love the Apple bigots that can't see the big picture or the history. Tom |
