Most of you probably know the story of how Steve Jobs visited Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center Incorporated (PARC) in the late 1970s - the place where many of the revolutionary technologies that have become an integral part of our lives today were born. It was at the PARC headquarters that Steve Jobs drew inspiration for the technologies that he later applied to the development of the Lisa and Macintosh computers. And it was Larry Tesler who arranged for Jobs to visit PARC at that time. Years later, Tesler also advised Gil Amelia to buy Jobs' NeXT, but warned him: "No matter what company you choose, someone will take your place, either Steve or Jean-Louis".
