It’s okay Swordmaker, there’s no hope for that asshat. He’s just out to stir up trouble on threads with nothing factual to back him up, unlike us. You are acting like a child. You have been proven wrong, yet refuse to admit it. It is adult-like to admit when you have made a mistake, but child-like to insist you are right when the facts are clearly against you.
This just once more goes to show that age is no proof against being childish.
And for what it's worth, Steve Jobs appears to me to have contributed to the Computer industry in the same manner a fashion designer contributes to the Clothing industry.
By introducing the latest generation of faddish and superficial crap, but not actually anything truly innovative. He was the equivalent of a Male Fashion designer for the Computer world.
He was the equivalent of a Male Fashion designer for the Computer world. You finally said something that has some truth! I can partially agree with you here, except Steve Jobs did greatly contribute to the computer industry with some ground-breaking designs.
What he did with these designs, everyone else copied. On the 1984 Mac, first use of 3-1/2 inch floppy drives. All the other microcomputers used 5-1/4 inch floppy discs that were prone to contamination and demagnetization. The original Apple II with a motherboard containing enough hardware to boot a working machine, while having a bank of slots to add 3rd-party boards; most other machines used S-100 architecture and needed other components added to be used. Apple machines were designed to be taken apart with just a single screw and tabs (Mac II series comes to mind); other PCs had sharp rectangular sheet metal with sharp edges and lots of screws. Other PCs soon copied the color schemes of Apple machines; most PCs until then were drab gray. Apples were first with adoption of new interface ports, or dropping of antiquated ports. There were howls of derision against Apple for being first in dropping the 5-1/4 floppy, 3-1/2 floppy, CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMs, as well as interface ports in favor of newer tech which was shortly adopted by all. Then there's the quest of smaller, sleeker, lighter designs which everyone else is copying. No contributions? Hah!
