Pretty awesome stuff, just imagine how much further we'd be if Jobs had also thought of stealing Ethernet and email.

It's a shame, really. You have to wonder where we'd be now if Xerox upper management had their priorities in order. PARC was 10-20 years ahead of the times depending on which technology you look at; Ethernet LAN, WYSIWYG, WIMP GUI, laser printers, InterPress and OOP; and Xerox abandoned the project because they were afraid computers would destroy the paper business.
