 CME(|    I watched the whole show and pretty much liked what I saw,
     | especially the Apple ][ stuff.  I agree with Phillip; they did
     | make damn sure everybody knew that the GUI was _not_ Bill Gates'
     | idea and others (i.e. Apple) had done it well before and much
     | better than Microsoft.  Steve Jobs was much more blunt about it;
     | he came a gnat's breath away from calling Gates a two bit theif.

Question:  Has Xerox PARC ever called Jobs & Apple two-bit thieves for
capitalizing on the idea which they inspired/showed off?  :)  I really
liked that aspect too, that the show pointed out that Microsoft didn't
invent the GUI (with the added emphasis that Jobs' Macintosh didn't
either!).  And now I know how arrogant Steve Jobs is in real life.
