Thanks for all your comments
I'm sorry the Apple Lisa was not to everyone's pockets, although I know people who bought it.
Still way cheaper than that Xerox Star in the sense you didn't have to own a gold mine to buy it.
takuhii I would love to hear about the GUI before it that were affordable. Please don't include pencil and paper.
I'm sorry you don't agree with created the market, but "developed and expanded" is way to subtle.
Maybe we could agree half-way, "explosively expanded beyond all recogniton" suits better? Like in the recent announcement of 8000% growth in data traffic at AT&T since the launch of the iPhone - I know it doesn't include just the iPhone, but just trying to show who started it.
