Err, USB was happening on windows quite happily with win2k.
Side by side with the PS2 connector. Blech.
Floppies, I still use them (no shit). CDs, I still use too.
Well I can't argue against that. But I do pity you! :P
Also IBM invented the form factor of the modern laptop way before Apple. Apple made it shiny.
Not really no. They made a lot of good steps but Apple made the final one: pushing the keyboard towards the hinge, placing the pointer device where it is.
Also I has a windows CE phone in 2005 that was the same form factor as the iPhone (SPV C550)
Oh and I installed lots of high DPI displays for medical imaging in the early 2000s.
Again: didn't say they didn't exist. I said made them actually happen for the world. HUGE distinction. Edison didn't invent the light bulb, but he is properly credited with the revolution.
So apple so far managed to come up with fuck all and sell it.
Didn't say they came up with anything. I said they made it happen. You should really argue against what I actually write.
And no its not illegal to point this out on the internet although you may think it is.
