And I suppose Jobs had the famous "look and feel" worked out from
this guy's thesis?  Come on, Randy, Steve Jobs ripped Xerox off just
like he ripped off Wozniak.

Someone is so dishonest as to steal from the founder of Apple.  You
of all people, being a big Apple supporter, should be burning Jobs
in effigy.

He ripped of Wozniak, the founder of Apple.  He purposefully
advocated the destruction of the Apple II, Apples bread and butter
machine of the time.  He acted so out of line that the company had
to get rid of him.  Like Nate said, Apple's founder, the Woz, warned
that Amelio fellow to not purchase NeXT, but he didn't listen.

Where is Rhapsody now?  Know why Rhapsody is dead?  Rhapsody does
not have any ties to Steve Jobs, that's why.  That megalomaniac
will destroy anything that he did no touch.
