LOL! How right you are!
If only:
1. Xerox had known what a gem they had when they invented the
graphical user interface
2. Digital Research had known what a dumb move it was to snub IBM
when they wanted to buy/license CP/M for their new "personal
computer" (that's what "PC" stands for, for those too young to
remember)
3. Seattle Computers had known what a deal they gave Billy when he
bought Seattle DOS (?) for 'bout $80K and turned it into MS-DOS.
4. The Commadore Amiga had caught on (now THERE was a
computer!)
(SIGH!)
