The "page" was the idea of a mouse, of a computer screen that was more than just a typewriter screen. It was such a revolutionary idea, but at the same time so obvious, it's hard to explain. All you had to do was see it and use it to know how natural it was compared to always typing in written commands. The "page" had Xerox's writing all over it before Jobs ever got involved.

Well, yes, but that makes MS even more of a pirate, don't you think? Xerox, then apple, then FINALLY Mr. Gates decides to get in on the action and actually did steal code from apple. Gates has never marketed a really GOOD version of windows, one that was bullet proof from hackers and one that didn't need 50 SPs before it worked any where close to what it was supposed to. BTW, I use PCs but only because of the price, not because they work so well, which they don't!
