I think I have the right company, I'm looking for that book now. If I have the right company, they made countless hardware/software advancements, but never took advantage of them. I don't know why.

Xerox sounds right to my memory. (Of course, this is my memory, so take that with a teaspoon of salt. :P )

Both Apple and M$ definitely did some "borrowing" from *some* company, I do remember that.

I think I heard the same, but I didn't think the company was Xerox.  :S

Read four paragraphs down.

So, yeah. Apple snitched from Xerox, and M$ snitched from Apple. Fun.

Peace & Luv, Liz

It's ironic that Apple copied it from a company known for its copiers.  ;B
