> Nice. absurd.wtf/byte/BYTE%20... Notably, the same issue that reviewed the PET (still as a prototype)! Also found there (in the titular Space War article, p. 90) – this adheres to the description in the TMSC9918 datasheet:

With your teeny screenshots and history of cherrypicking I can't say I'm going to just trust you on this. I'd need to read both. With schematics included.

You pointed out the issue, I pointed out the page number, go on…

Well I'm not going to be reading up on some rando arcade game tonight. Maybe later this week if we're lucky.

EMRGD they invented display postscript. And Jobs stole it.

> And Jobs stole it. You mean, NeXT licensed it, just like CDE?

Notably, the Display Postscript license was the major reason, why certain display layers weren't available for free for the longest of times.

That's unlike Steve. I mean the guy I knew wouldn't tell Jobs anything because he stole every idea and took credit.

Actually, just like Apple licensed all this technology from Xerox, from the mouse (from which they actually developed their own, rather different implementation) to the GUI? I mean, I get the memes, but those aren't uctually history.

Like, this was never an essential part of the infamous look-and-feel law suite, the verdict was that Apple (accidentially) had provided MS a perpetual license. (Which kind of implies that Apple had rights to this in the first place.) www.folklore.org/A_Rich_Neigh...
