poorgradstudent,

Right on the mark. Jobs was the guy who kicked IBM/Microsoft in the butt. Before Jobs, there was only one font and Jobs realized that people have different tastes so Apple allowed different fonts as well as cool looking products. I started on IBM computer and you had to type in code to do things. Job revolutionized computers with the concept of having folders as distinct windows that could be opened by clicking a mouse. Somehow the Microsoft cabal was able to pirate his concept without paying royalties, and they had the gall to call it windows.

Did Apple also invent the mouse? What about itunes? That was a stroke of genius as well. Jobs envisioned new products that created many new demands.
