I wouldn't go that far. What about Alan Kay. We have him to thank for 
starting all of this. 

What about Knowledge Navigator? This is quite feasable in the next couple
of years.  <EXTREME sarcasm here.>
I think Apple has some really neat ideas but they are looking to far into
the future and aren't putting out feasable solutions for the near future.
NeXT seems to be doing a much better job at looking at what can be
accomplished and what is good and exciting.
