Give me a break. So, when Jobs comes out with the Mac because he could "borrow" the technology from a research center, even though he was set to come out with a totally different system in the "Lisa" machine, somehow he's not a thief but an innovator? Oh, pull the other one... You're right, given the chance to dominate the market Jobs would just go on his merry way with his two-bit market share. What a laugh. He would sell out his mother if it meant dominating computing the way MicroSoft has. If you don't see this you're a very naive person and you don't know anything about Steve Jobs. By the way, it's MACRae. Ironic, isn't it? -Brendan MacRae - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
