Who deserves the credit for the rapid growth in graphical computing?

[Henry Melancon]

Back in the day everything was IBM compatible and FilePro, Dbase, Lotus, WordPerfect and Netscape ruled......not OFFICE!!!!
And I think things were better.......

The few mentions of Microsoft today made me wonder if not because of 
Microsoft, who then is to be credited!?!

Apple?  IBM?  AT&T?

I was excited to see windows for the first time ... I mean, it was as 
close to a hot date as it got!  I know, sad.

Granted, unlike you guys, I really did not see the age of computing grow 
since I came to USA in 1985 and saw my first computer in the HS I 
attended, bought my first PC a couple of years later 8088 compatible PC 
with 256K of memory, two floppy disks and I think it had a hard drive 
but really, I cannot even remember.  I do recall having to swap disks a 
dozen times before I got to a command prompt.
