Their original product was a blue-box for ripping the Bell system. Woz built most of 
the Apple I stuff at HP and you mentioned Xerox the Lisa and Mac. After Woz saw 
MS basic he wrote Applesoft (he did write integer before then). I think that covers 
most of their product line. Don't get me wrong. They stole the golden key and changed 
the way we live, work and play in this world. The drive was Steve Jobs' the ideas 
belonged to others. There isn't anybody suing them and I love my Mac. What else is 
there to say?
