Hi Winsor
<tongue-in-cheek>
Apple USED to make Apples. they made the Apple, the Apple II (in '+' &
'e' variants), & the Lisa. I still have to refer to the Mac as the
'Apple Macintosh' to distinguish it from the outer garment worn by
gentlemen that go to cinemas that show X-rated movies, otherwise people
would get confused... ;)
And yes, you are correct, the windows-style GUI was developed by Xerox,
not BG. I still use a development of their X-windows as the GUI under
FreeBSD, as a mechanism to get the 20 or so CLI screens & the few web
browsers I need on a workday available in one place. A few more buttons
on my mouse (a total of say, 8 or so) would help to really improve the
experience...
</tongue-in-cheek>
note that OS-X is FreeBSD UNIX under that pretty skin...
