You may want to look at Woz's personal page, where he published a lot of e-mail he got about that movie. It's all at www.woz.org/letters/pirates/. He states that, although some of the events in the movie appeared out chronological order in real life, the personallities of the people involved are quite accurate. The GUI thing is just one of the many technologies Xerox created for somebody else to profit from. It seemed to be a curse of the now-defunct Xerox PARC research group. _______________________________________________ Chat mailing list Chat at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/chat
