I quote you --"During this years Macworld Expo, held in San Francisco, Microsoft CEO Steve Jobs unveiled the "world's thinnest laptop" The Microsoft Air is only 0.16-0.76 inches thick . . . ." In the old days, Gates and Jobs and Woz(niak) and all the nerds you can think of "walked away" with the ideas from Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) and eventually DOS was born from the basic approach of the stuff of Big IBM, and there was Digital Research with the super powerful editor ED you know, CPM. For me the greatest code of the era became C-B86 a kind of super powerful compiled basic that could run modules of raw binary as well as assembly, or basic, and some of the fun was writing quick transcendentals or bringing double precision to basic. Jobs at Microsoft? Nah. To visit?

Hell freezes over!
