[citation][nom]nottheking[/nom]Ah, social networking sites... How else would we get people to consistently and blithely blurt out what are supposed to be deep company secrets? Knowing Apple such an acquisition would be under NDA after NDA... But oops, gotta update my LinkedIn!Oh, you mean like back in 1984? ...Except, of course, that Apple never did beat IBM... Rather, IBM undid themselves with possibly some of the worst decisions ever on earning acceptance for their PS/2. Now that was a REAL revolutionary machine... No one bought it, but everyone copied it. Case-in-point: it introduced a bunch of stuff still seen a lot today, such as the standard keyboard/mouse ports we use today, distinct memory module slots, old 1.44MB 3.5" floppy disks, the 15-pin D-sub "VGA" plug, and the VGA standard itself. I don't think we ever saw anything that revolutionary out of Apple, be it in the 1980s, 1990s, or today.[/citation]
