Anyone who's seen a Xerox (anyone with a dandelion want to comment?) will
be the first to admit similarities, but Apple went very strongly out in
their own direction. The Mac isn't a copy of Xerox' work, it is just
influenced by it. From what the releases say, that isn't as true of the Mac
and GEM (I haven't seen GEM yet, so I won't comment on it).
