Alan Kay seems to get credit for a lot of ideas.  It has been my
experience that ideas are often created and developed by a team while a
few individuals get away with claiming all of the credit for them.  Alan
Kay seems to be living off his reputation - has anything he has done at
Atari or Apple made those companies any money?
