Sorry if this off-topic and seems like neat-picking, but I have way too
much respect for inovators in computer history to let this through ;)
(Those do not include (jobs/gates/linus)). Amongs said innovators: Alan
Kay and Carl Sassenrath.
So in order to restore historic fact, the quote is not by Steve Jobs,
it's from Alan Kay, member of the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC)
research team responsible for :
Network computing as we know it today.
GUI and Mouse interactivity as we know it today.
Smalltalk and OOP as we know it today.
The story of how Jobs and/or Gates were inspired by PARC can be read at
