Steve Jobs parked in Handicapped spaces and kicked old ladies?

The GUI was not an apple invention, they "borrowed" that from xerox.

Althoug using the name Lisa, Jobs never really acknowledged having a daughter, even though her name is Lisa.

Jobs almost caused Apple to go belly-up.

Apple was never first with any thing, but they were good at "borrowing" form others and selling it as their own.

Apple became what they advertised wouldn't happen.. 1984

Who cares what system was used so long ago.
If it had not been NeXT it would have been some thing else.

With all due respect, this has to be the dumbest comment in the thread, and it has plenty of competition!

The point was that NeXT was the first proper object oriented operating system, designed that way from the ground up. As such building a complex application in NeXT was (and still is, in many respects) much easier and quicker than on competing systems.

If it wasn't for that ease and simplicity, the web may have taken much longer to be developed, and possibly not developed and certainly not in the open form we know today!

Its amazing how some people have to use arguments as "if this and that had or had not happened, then this and that would not have been, thus this and that..."

Look Steve Jobs was not the second coming of Jesus.
