If I'm correct, first IBM PC was made in 1981, first Windows OS was made in 1985, but first Windows OS with GUI was created in 1990 (Windows 3.0, I had pleasure to work on 3.14 lol).

Nice, but the point still stands that the PC predates Windows.

But:




Those look like GUI's to me.

Not quite.

Personal computer stands for ''PC'', which is made by Windows.
Apple has the Mac.

Please check the authenticity of the stuff you say before you say it as if it's factual. Yes, PC stands for personal computer, but the fact that when you say PC, you mean a computer running Windows, doesn't mean that Apple's computers aren't personal. In fact, they originally meant for it to be a personal computer, before Microsoft was founded, as all the computers of the time weren't personal at all. They were kinda like the computers you see at super marts, only bigger.
Windows can't make a PC, as Windows is an operating system. You meant Microsoft, the company who makes Windows, and even they don't make computers.
Before Apple created the Mac, they had computers such as "Apple I" and "Apple II". They were personal computers. The first ever personal computer was the Apple I. When it was created, DOS was in diapers. In fact, the DOS was released 5 years after the first personal computer, made by Apple. Now, I'm not saying that the first ever personal computer to be made was by Apple. There were some models by IBM, for example, but they didn't really manage to captivate the world. Let me put it this way: if Jobs and Wozniak would have not made their computer, it would have taken a lot longer for someone to create a commercially successful PC and actually start the revolution which was started by Apple.

And the first Apple computer was made in 1976.

That is true, but the first Mac was created in 1984, whilst the first Modern Standard PC, the first IBM PC, was made in 1981.

And would you please tell me how this is relevant to the subject?

I forgot to mention that ._. sorry. Yes, Windows was found waay after the first PC was ever made. And, also, it's not Win 3.14, but 3.11, my bad.

Maybe it's only me, but by Grapphical User Interface definition I understand "user-friendly interface, so easy even monkey could use it".
How Win 3 used to look:

Ah, I usually regard GUI as not using command interface.

You stated that the first apple computer was made in 1976. There were models of PC's pre-dating the modern IBM standard, so I was merely noting the modern forms of both Apple Computers and PC's for a modern comparison.

Poor Steve Jobs

EVERYONE...
Instead of spawning lengthy discussions, I would advice you to read these articles:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of ... _computers
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of ... _interface

It should give you most of the exact chronology with every detail included.
I'm seriously not in mood to debunk every argument.

Ah, yes, that makes sense.

You know, someone at my school said he heard some absurd rumours about Jobs' death. One says he died a week ago and the new iPhone was named after him (4S- For Steve). The other says he committed suicide after hearing about the "failure" of the iPhone 4S.

On another note, Listen to this:

I am well aware of this, and I addressed it in one of my previous comments.


Are girls always so small? I was in this small garden in my school when two girls came and sat down on a bench beside me. They looked about my age, maybe a bit smaller. I asked them if they are in the 10th grade, and they said they work at my school. Goddamit. The worst part was, they weren't very... how shall I put this...
progressive in their bodies. I don't want to sound chauvinistic, it's just that it is a sign of maturity and they really looked small! (the girls...)

Newer Macs are PCs (as in IBM PCs), older are not, but both are personal computers. Abbreviations may change meanings you know.

I absolutely see what you mean and no, they are not always SO small.

Yeah, it can be so annoying sometimes. I just thank god I didn't do the mistake the other way around. That is, ask girls my age if they work at my school...

I find it that guys seem to be generally taller, but there's less variation of height. However, at my friend's school, all the girls who are in high school are like 5 feet on average, whereas at my school the girls are almost around 5'9" on average. The three tallest people in my Biology class are girls (6'3", 6'2, and 6'1.5" (me)).

Man, are you tall. Taller than me by almost 10 centimeters. Oh well, I'm still hoping to gain some height in my remaining 3-5 months of intensive growth.

This is entirely my observation and obviously has no basis on fact, but I've noticed that short girls tend to be the sluttier/emo ones, whereas the taller ones are more subdued and well-mannered. (When I said emo there, I mean that around here there's so many attention seekers in the form of wannabe emos. I don't know about other places.)

Trivia: I was visiting some castles in Germany and found some ver interesting information, did you knoe that a thousand years ago men averaged a height of 5 feet and women 4'11"? There was one army suit that was built for a six foot man, and it was exceedingly rare to find someone that tall. Even more rare than finding someone who's 7 feet today.

I've always thought of myself as short since nearly all of the people at my high school were much taller than me. However ever since i've come to uni i've noticed there's much more people shorter than me, including the 2 people in my group which includes a guy. I think my height (5'3") is the average here.
