Well, it has finally happend.  Xerox is sueing Apple for $150million over
Apple's use of the Xerox-developed Star graphical user interface.  I don't
have the newspaper article handy, but the suit filed last week (?) is very
similar to the one filed by Apple against Microsoft and HP Software (?) for
their Windows 2.03 and NewWave products.

Apple should have known better than to sue the one software company that
provides so much software for their machine.  Did they think they could get
away with it without getting the attention of Xerox?  Like the old saying goes,
people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

IMHO, I would like to see Apple get roasted by this lawsuit...  Flames to
/dev/null, please.
