the

| only
| | can we thank Xerox for Xerography (another way of photocopying) but we
| can
| | also thank them for what is essentially modern computing through a
| graphical
| | interface. If it wasn't for the GUI, we'd all be using a command line
| and
| | strings of commands rather than a "drag this here, click twice there"
| world.
| | So the ubiquitous computer wouldn't be so ubiquitous.

them
| no

| | You know, people like to put down microsoft, but if it wasn't
for
| them

to
