“True, that later on Gates invested millions in Apple stock that helped Apple get over a near bankruptcy”
Just, WOW! You agree with me then chop me to pieces? OK! LOL
Uh, where did I agree with you? I don't see it in post 31. . . and I don't see it in any post where I agree that Microsoft "bailed" Apple out. Nor do I see that it was through the goodness of Microsoft as was implied in your initial statement.
My point was that Apple got back from Microsoft what Microsoft had essentially STOLEN from them. . . their intellectual property rights. . . used by a company to compete against them with Apple's own inventions. Money Apple by rights had earned. NOT money handed to them as charity to help them survive. There is a difference.
By the way, I don't chop you to pieces, I chop the story, the myth, to pieces. You are coming out pretty unscathed. ;^)
You haven't attacked anyone. . . not like another poster on here.
