No he's not.

He was preaching on a corner in the city last night.

Boy, was he pissed.

Sigh, against such insight I'll bow to your greater knowledge and experience.

So take up smoking and gambling

Never owned an Apple device in my life. But they were pioneers in windows, icon and mouse based personal computing, arguably the most significant development in personal computing history.

A bit before my time, but Apple was the first to make a commercially successful product. We're talking about which products had the reach to users. Apple were the ones who achieved this.

Exactly! As SG1 said, they stole it and made it "successful". And then Microsoft stole it again and made it even more "successful". And then Microsoft even stole/extorted the name "Windows" from those who used it before them. What was your point again!? :-(

Tandy ("Radio Shack") at that time also had some good (for the times) products out, which worked very well.

A great little machine which I used to learn to write BASIC and Assembler programs plus control some electronic devices.

When Commodore showed the Commodore PET to Tandy (Commodore was looking for a distribution channel) it inspired Tandy to build and market their own line of computers.

They dominated the market early on, Apple didn't get a look in.

No, they licensed it fair and square. And improved it, and made a successful product out of it.

As I should be. I've done nothing to warrant being remembered, nor do I want to be.
