No, nothing could be said of a lack of respect for Xerox PARC on Apple's part. Apple paid Xerox (with stock, I believe) for a tour of PARC and the ideas therein. Xerox thought they were getting a deal because they didn't think GUIs would be all that important. Steve Jobs knew better the instant he laid eyes on it. Not to mention the fact that what Xerox had was quite crude but S Jobs had the vision to see what it could become. -- Hotel California hotelca@cris.com
