The biggest problem I had with this movie is that it continued the myth that Apple did not "invent" the Mac but rather stole it from PARC. This is wrong for at least two reasons: 1) Apple did, in fact, pay for the technology with stock options that were later worth a whole bunch of money. 2) Several of the Mac team members had developed some of the ideas before PARC ever "invented" them. -Mick -- -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
