Subject: Re: Who invented the GUI, was RE: Moving to Mac


The BIGGEST mistake Xerox ever made was letting Steve Jobs see what they
had
working in their labs.  In almost a neck-and-neck tie was the Xerox
executives in not realizing what they had in hand there.  They were a
copier
company and this stuff did nothing to sell more copiers........... Regards,
Mike Shaw
