Apple is Ripping off 2KHappyWare with the "headless imac" !!!!

Hey, I remember a spreadsheet called Multiplan (I think I have the name right) that a certain small little Redmond software company wrote for the Apple II way back in the day. Probably predates all this stuff. 😀

VisiCalc was the first spreadsheet app made for the Apple II. Written by two fellers who called themselves Software Arts Inc.

Yeah MS copys more stuff but there is a differnerts MS does not state blantly state they came up with the idea but when apple steals they steal hard core and state it all there own work


Dont call me a troll I just am not a blind zealot and know a more about the computing world and what is going on in there then most people here

Given that your entire claim was just destroyed in two posts, plus the fact that you don't know even know which product you're talking about ("Sherlock or was it watson one or the other..."), and the utter lack of spelling/grammar/mechanics/knowledge of the language you speak, you obviously don't "know a more about the computing world and what is going on in there then most people here". Please learn what you are talking about about before spouting gibberish and generally engaging in troll-like behavior. Thank you.

Remember the Outbound Kanga notebook computers, before and better than Apple's early notebooks. I have seven (?) of them around here. They were great machines but my understanding is Apple Legal nailed them. Apple should have encouraged them. They did a great job. You just added MacPlus or SE ROMs and you had an LCD notebook computer ages ago. I bought them for myself and all my sales people.

and as far as the "pizza box" design, see the Performa entry level line from the general 1994 era. Nothing new here, and it was Apple that did it first.

Not to nitpick, but I think Sun did it first. See this
