This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Jobs had no ideas. GUI, like everything else, was stolen from someone else. Apple and Microsoft both got big by stealing ideas.

Is it really stealing if you pay for it?

Xerox PARC had lots of great ideas, and then just never really commercialized any of them.

Woz had great ideas he never would have commercialized without Jobs either, no doubt that that was what he brought to the table: a pricetag.
