Everybody bake a quiche and light some incense sticks in celebration today!

Oh this is just great. Now we'll have another +1000 post PC vs. Mac thread. Can't we all just get along?

A shame there's no mention of Steve Wozniak in this article.

I use several platforms but my new 15 inch Mac Powerbook is a total gas! Makes using a PC about as attractive as cutting grass with a push mower.

No, we can't.
Not while there are still some of us around who remember trying to do software development work in XENIX on the Lisa. Better yet, I still have two Apple ///'s out in the loft of my garage. If the mice haven't gotten into 'em they're probably still as functional as the day they were made; maybe even if the mice have gotten into 'em, too.

Cute, two major problems:
Apple wasn't just accused of stealing from Xerox they lost the case
Linux was porting to PC desktops long before OSX
I like how they try to recast Steve Job's goal of a dual monopoly in hardware and the OS as a benevolent dictatorship, that's extra funny.

The most famous innovation, of course, is the original Mac's graphical user interface, which Microsoft (nasdaq: MSFT - news - people ) Windows appeared to copy over several generations.If Windows copied the Mac then that would make it a copy of a copy. XEROX invented the modern graphical user interface at the Palo Alto Research Center. The XEROX execs were too busy changing the paper on their copiers to notice.

Scientologists, Hare Krishnas, Macintosh fanatics, Hale-Bopp enthusiasts, Jonestown Kool-Aid drinkers....
Any others?
Before the Mac-Whacks flame the crap out of me, I'm just amused at the zealotry of Macintosh users. I don't think you're really a cult. Really. I don't. Stop looking at me that way...

Apple wasn't just accused of stealing from Xerox they lost the case Source? According to this Xerox did sue Apple but the case was "dismissed on a technicality".

I bought a 20th Anniversary Mac (which I am using right now) back in November of 1997. Maybe it's the 25th anniversary now???
