Hardware, Embedded Systems After personal computers arrived in the 1970's they went through a series of revolutionary changes delivered by a series of different platforms. It's been over a decade since we've seen anything truly revolutionary, will we see a revolution again? I believe we could not only see revolution again, we could build it today.

RE: Apple never wrote compilers or even an OS.

Of course they wrote an OS, granted the idea of Mac OS was gleaned from Xerox but apple have writted an OS. It depends on wether you consider OSX Apple made or NeXT made or even Berkley made

And for those that have never heard of it, Apple also wrote DOS FROM SCRATCH IN HOUSE

(before anyone flames, DOS is not exclusive to Microsoft many companys have made a 'Disk Operating System')
