@Craptron2000 true but in terms of a business model, they are way ahead of our time. they have simplified computing, and most choose apple because they preform better than most PCs.

In 1973 I remember my coworkers and I had the Xerox Alto complete with a mouse. It was WAY ahead of it's time! I remember "GUI's" - I loved how I could email and whatever was on your screen was how it looked laser printed! So - I guess when the gradual Personal Computer came along in the 1980's we had already been using them all along. Miss those machines!

@suhailmishlawi maybe you should do some research. the xerox os had icons, folders, windows, mouse,charts, graphics,copy and paste, scrolling etc stop being a fanboy with no knowledge of true information on the matter
I just think Apple con people into thinking they're some kind of nice-guy alternative to Big Evil Microsoft when they're get up to exactly the same tricks and end up in court as well. Macs are poser toys anyway.

If XEROX didn't make the Alto computer, todays computers probably would not have a nice computer graphic interface. Maybe, we would not have a mouse either?
