Nope, it was actually Xerox invented everything. Hence the famous Jobs-Gates
exchange about IP - when Steve accused Bill of stealing software from the
Mac, Gates shot back at him, 'No, Steve, I think it's more like we both have
this rich neighbor named Xerox, and you broke in to steal the TV set, and
you found out I'd been there first, and you said, 'Hey, that's not fair! I
wanted to steal the TV set!'"

So you might have thought these two guys were software entrepreneurs, but in
truth they were just Xerox copiers.... :-)
