thousands of an indigenous tribe and took some skulls to Germany following

Thanks Mike P for your exhaustive references and feedback.I guess I tend to
follow at times popular non-scientific consensus blindly in my accolades to
Steve.However I am not like those folks who believe that psychology began
with Dr.Phil.

Psychoanalytic theory has led to a new technique for autistic kids in
France:

The alleged goal of this technique, as defined by proponents of this
therapy, is to “allow the child to rid him- or herself progressive
Actually, M. Sylvester does have a point.
Steve Jobs was not a technical innovator -- he was a promoter.
I remember CPM and other microcomputer systems; my first computer was an AIM-65.
What was different about the Apple was that:

Not much, but something. The correlation between brain size (assessed with MRI)
and IQ is .44 according to summary of existing research (Rushton & Ankney's

My father gave my husband and me an Osbourne computer for a wedding
present in 1982. It ran straight out of the box, was self contained,
portable, (my husband took it to the law library on a regular basis), was
a CPM system, ran word star, a spread sheet, and I don't recall what else.

For me it's about design. From the start (well, mostly from the start) Apple
make working with technology a different experience; it was more than a mere
tool. It was pretty. As psychologists I wonder if we aren't minimizing the
import of what it means to work with a beige box and bad graphic
Mike--
I wouldn't disagree with your characterization of Jobs -- I was always a Woz
fan.
And I never said that microcomputer systems were not commercially _available_.
My point is that they were not widely marketed.
The two prices I see in your post are $30,000 and $10,000; quite a bit more

I find comments like these remarkable. It reminds me of the old Mac vs
PC arguments in the past two decades. All the computers and operating
systems mentioned, especially CP/M, are dinosaurs that did not survive
the meteor of the Macintosh and its GUI. Which of these systems still
