...they had the first comercial(ly successful) graphic OS and they had it for many many years (what like 20)
I've added in the aspects I believe validate the statement**, but even if you ignore them, in no way does that say "the only Graphical os for 20 years" or "only successful graphical os". What it says is two statements joined with "and". If you delete the and and replace it with a period, the meaning doesn't change, but then maybe you might re-read it and realise your error.
Let me help you:
1) They had the first commercial graphical OS (LisaOS)
2) They had (Mac OS) for many many years
They did have the first commercial OS presented to consumers (LisaOS) and first widely commercially successful Graphical OS (Classic MacOS) and they did continue to produce MacOS right on into the 2000's from January 1984.
** change "commercially successful" for "commercial consumer" if you want to, still true.

And the Lisa was released in January 1983, and it had a wholly graphical OS. Your point is therefore moot.
