Mac's HAVE to support PC formatted disks since that's what the rest of the world runs on. Duh! And, Apple stole everything about the MAC from Xerox PARC, just down the road from me in Silicon Valley. They stole the GUI, the Mouse, networking, email...everything! So, to say that Gate's was copying MACS is only accurate as long as you ackwnoledge that MACS are a ripoff in themselves! Like Steve Jobs is some saint. The guy's an total a-hole by reputation. Every bit as ruthless and cut-throat as Gate's (probably why they're both very rich). By the way, Pirates of Silicon Valley is a stupid film. If you want to see something factually based and a heck of a lot more accurate and interesting see "The Triumph of the Nerds." It is a documentary about the battle over the home based PC. It's not some crappy dramatization of what went on. >You think Enron was a scam; that's peanuts compared to the crap Bill Gates and his weasel cohorts continue to foist on the public; and you eat it up in droves. You get what you deserve, like your weasel of a president (nice election Bush ran; good clean campaign). I don't even klnow what this means? Nothing Bill Gate's did to acquire QDOS was illegal...what are you talking about? And, like selling computers that are a lot more expensive than others that do the same things isn't snakeoil? I mean who are you kidding? Also, what the hell is the political commentary all about? Weirdo... -Brendan MacRae - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
