Xerox deserved to have any ideas they have stolen…They had a chance to patent the mouse. And did not. The biggest mistake in modern history. The gave it away. ---

I think midpi is just to young is why he is a little unclear about how it all came about. You are taught all of this in a Computer History class midpi. Ren is on the money with her info. Bill gates has never invented anything he has stole, copied, and monopalized on what wever he could find. ---

Yeah… I found out that information in my Computer Networking class… changed my view of MS on the spot. ---

It´s a two chapter series about the computer advention, it covers all xerox-ibm-apple-micro$oft and internet history. It´s pretty cool:) ---

Mak - you are misunderstanding or misreading my message entirely! I said I don’t mind people not sharing my opinion about MS, so obviously, I am not addressing 3d-iva! I was only correcting mdipi on his claims of “MS innovation” but I think Syntax is right - he’s probably too young or too misinformed. And just a small thing that’s bothering me - it’s "Steve **Jobs** not “Jobbs.” But I suppose it doesn’t matter… tha man does say “jagWIRE” instead of “jaguar.” And again, the OS gui was well under way before Jobs even saw what Xerox was working on! ---
