I was refering to the iPod ... it didnt exist 8 years ago. as for programming - I started Z80 system before Mr Sinclair and apple 1 was finished. The Apple2e was the first system that I could afford, and it ended there when the 8088 came in to play and the IBM PC-XT (original speed demon of 4.77Mhz) just took off and cleaned the playing field.
Apple are brilliant at marketing by histeria. Look at the way the Segway has changed public transport. Xerox invented the first 'Graphical user interface' so Apple cant say it was theirs. the Mouse isnt their invention either. so what would Apple have changed? I give more credit to Commodore :-P
Apple creates fashion trends (not that its bad)

apple didnt create anything. the Apple2 was the last 'affordable' end user system. As for music - the Creative Labs Nomad MP3 player was out 8 years ago. Apple are good to refine ideas, but they dont invent anything.
