  • ....."and that was the computer that took over the world"

  • If Steve didn't do what he did, we wouldn't be using a mouse and we wouldn't be using a user friendly GUI. I mean, why deny something just because you don't like it?

  • @Wickedgardengtp Xerox invented the personal computer. If it weren't for Xerox PARC Research that Apple was given permission to haul off with all PARC's precious research, then NONE of us would be using a frakking mouse.

    Xerox invented the GUI, and the mouse, and modern Ethernet integration, and email integration, and laser printer integration, all from the a personal computer, that Xerox also invented.

  • @techraan Do you even know what 'Personal Computer' means?

  • @Wickedgardengtp If Steve didn't do what he did the World would be the exact same :). Apple fa(gs)ns should accept the fact that Apple never invent anything else then a new design for old stuff...

  • @bliofet I respect your opinion, but your statement is wrong.

  • @Wickedgardengtp Allright, tell me one think they invented :).

  • @bliofet So, I get what you are saying. They just improved on an idea and gave it a new name. Ok, fine, but if that is your view on them, then no one invented anything. Stop hating them just because they are popular again.

  • @Wickedgardengtp I never said no one invented anything... I'm just tired that people that invent stuff never get the credit for it, and the people that repack and sell other people's ideas are considered like gods... No one gave a damn about Dennis Ritchie's death, but you could see "RIP Steve Jobs" on every singe website, how stupid is that ? If Dennis Ritchie didn't exist, all based UNIX Operating Systems (like Mac OSX or Ubuntu) wouldn't existi, nor would C/C++...

  • @bliofet I agree with you on that note, but the fact that woz took something that was already there, but difficult for the average consumer to build/use/understand and made it into an easy to use interface and called it the PC that we all know and use today...... it may not be an invention, but it sure is a incredible milestone never the less. Now, peope are not praising steve jobs for the iPod/iPhone, but for a incredible list of accomplishments. Google his name for a larger list.

  • He even starts that Bill Gates already had Basic. The first PC was invented by a guy from the Home Brew Club, that is now a medical doctor. He made no money off the idea. Apple was the first company to make it main stream, but not the first.

  • So your just gonna ignore the fact that, He was a part of the home brew club and he is crowned as the one who invented the personal computer? Google is your friend.

  • Altair 8800

  • @Wickedgardengtp Chuck Peddle is the father of the home microcomputer. He designed the processor that Woz used in his Apple 1 which he purchased from MOS Technologies, a semiconductor division of Commodore.

  • Edward Roberts of Altair did introduce a computer kit, but Steve expanded upon the Altair's limited capabilities, and they succeeded by giving the user the ability to input data. If I had a computer that couldn't didn't have the ability to input data, how could I say that is the personal computer we know today?
