Apple was founded 9 years before ASML so there’s NO WAY Apple would not have been founded without ASML. Try and make some sense will ya?

When did I ever say anything about Apple's founding? The then-fledgling company's Apple IIe or Macintosh that Jobs and Woz made, or which almost went bankrupt in 1997, have nothing to do what with gigantic Apple is TODAY.

Silicon runs their iPhones, Mac Minis and iPads. Silicon only made possible - like NVDIA's - with ASML’s technology. ASML holds a monopoly on the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machines required to manufacture the most advanced AI chips (such as Nvidia's H100, H200, and Blackwell GPUs) and processors that run every iPhone. ASML may eb the most important company on Earth, yet few people know who they even are.

In your post 15 you claimed and I quote:
“There is no Google, Apple or Nvdia without ASML.”
Again Apple existed for NINE years before ASML, so how the heck does Apple not exist without ASML? With or without ASML Apple and Google still exist.

” Silicon runs their iPhones, Mac Minis and iPads. Silicon only made possible - like NVDIA’s - with ASML’s technology.”

Apple was using Motorola chips then chips from Intel for their Apple macs long before ASML was even created.
Intel had been making chips since it was founded in 1968.

Intel began making semiconductor memory chips immediately upon its founding in 1968. The company introduced its first commercial microprocessor, the Intel 4004, in 1971, which revolutionized the industry.

Where was ASML then?
