Steve Jobs might not be the only one responsible for Apple’s success because some old guy (Carl Clement,87 ) stated that back in the day he and his company were also responsible for the creation of  Xerox Alto long before Apple Macintosh even existed. The xerox Alto is  believed to have inspired some features of the first Mac, like the little folder icons and the mouse.

Apparently Steve Jobs got his hands on one of these machines in 1979 when they were working on the Lisa, which later lead to the Mac. Carl Clement wants people to know that he is also responsible for Apple’s initial product:“But I helped to inspire the Mac! Steve Jobs? That should have been me!”

After so many years, Clement you’re a bit late…but hey it’s nice to know where Steve got his inspiration from.
