Re: Then again, theoretically...

In Response To: Re: Let's look at this a little closer... (vector40)

...if you put a monkey in a room with a typewriter, EVENTUALLY, you would end up with a Latin-verse version of Homer's The Iliad.

Here's one to cook your noodle Vec... do you really think that, left on their own, the Apple team would have developed the Mac OS more or less the way it is now (or was back with Lisa, OS 6,7,8,9,etc...)

My point is that the MAJORITY OF GUIs on this planet are a near direct implementation of the Xerox PARC group (you may find it coincidental that yesterday [4/19] was the anniversary of the creation of the PARC project).

There's a strange reality in the world: very little is completely original. The majority of succesful ideas are a result of someone else's failed original idea.

: He's got you there, Loph. The main question is: do you really think that,
: left on their own, Microsoft would have developed Windows more or less the
: way it is now?

: Because that would be like two people sitting down, in separate rooms, with a
: sheet of paper and a writing assignment — and just HAPPENING to write two
: essays that were, almost word-for-word, exactly the same.
