read all the articles how Raskin and Horn discuss Apple and Xerox, and argue about the facts

But one thing you did say was Jobs went to Parc and thats when he saw the GUI, but as Raskin says the project started way before that, so that wasnt the pivotable moment when a lot or people (not you) say it was then stolen

yes but some people at APPLE had already worked at PARC

anyway pointless in arguing about this.. i'm not saying jobs stole it, but he was at PARC, others had worked at PARC, many of Raskin quotes mentions PARCS GUI !!!.

i've not got an apple, i dont think i'll ever buy one, i have a pc, a mobile. i've no need ...but you never know ..........
I think I've read that before, but then again memory does play tricks, think I got a lose Ram chip.

The article seems to suggest even more so that the difference between the GUI at PARC and what become the Mac was "HUGE" to Quote Horn. So I think the term copy is a bit unfair on Apple as Raskin wrote it Denigrates all the hard work from the Mac team. The 2 fundamental things that have been in every Mac OS the Finder and Menu Bar both came from Apple, just wasn't from Xerox.

I think we both run out of steam on this now lol
Maybe someone will buy you an iPad for xmas!
