Re: RIP Steve Jobs... What if he had never been?



Howdy,

I have the feeling the if Mr. Jobs had not come along, someone such as Commodore or Atari would have gotten around to it. Witness the MIDI ports on the Ataris. The SIDs on the Commodores. Not to take away from Mr. Jobs, but it still would have happened. The only difference is the possibility that it would have happened in a way that a certain fellow named Gates could have "bundled" it and put the other entity out of business.
