Apple versus Microsoft

For many, Apple products will always a cut above the rest.

Once the PC market really started to catch on, its popularity propelled it self.
Having a PC at home was even better than having a Mobile_telephone in your Car

Of course the Pocket_PC was still several years away. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocket_PC
However, some people knew that the dawn of smartphones was just a matter of time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smartphone#Early_smartphones

 

Is it rivalry, or just two side of the same tech coin?
"The film ends in 1997, with the return of 42-year-old Jobs to Apple (after its acquisition of NeXT Computer) and with his announcement at the MacWorld Expo of an alliance between Apple and Microsoft." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirates_of_Silicon_Valley (1999) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEyrivrjAuU

Bill_Gates sure started something big in the world. https://www.forbes.com/richest-in-tech/#74546b087316 

Several years after people embraced the PC, it was time for the iPhone_(1st_generation)

William_Gibson took the 1980s Sci-Fi tech landscape up to a new level and U2 took music and concerts up to a new level in the 1990s. The last couple decades of the 20th_century took a big leap in technology and Cyberpunk entertainment.

Bill Gates celebrated his 54th birthday in Vancouver at a U2 concert.
It's amazing to see the scale that Seattle is allowed to function on a larger level, simply because it's not bound by any Vancouver type restrictions or limitations.
