Well folks, The so called 'copyright infringement' is just a bag full of hot air..... Apple did NOT 'invent' such technology......Alan Kay (Formerly of Xerox PARC, and now Fellow at Apple) had the original idea....It was incorporated into Smalltalk-80, and also happens to be incorporated in the Xerox 1108/6085 series, which date quite a few years before The Lisa & Mac were released..... Please, APPLE, stop wasting the taxpayers time and money by bringing such a silly suit.
