interesting reading, anyway.... talks of Microsoft,
Apple, Atari, IBM, Xerox, HP, and others as the story traces a

I commend Cnet for this article. These types of stories are important.
It keeps the masses informed about the true origins of computing.
Although I should include that the story is mostly fluff, could have used
more in depth research, and has some parts wrong (ie. the Lisa did not run
the Xerox Star OS as the article says!)
