@michaeltotten7508 Jobs and Gates developed products and were not cutting edge computer engineers. IBM, HP and several other counties played a more important part in early computing.

I am afraid that is just nonsense.

@michaeltotten7508 I meant counties in the context of places such as silicon valley and Boston but it was not a very well made statement as it was difficult to read. I do think that Jobs and Gates were engineers but they used existing market products and did not invent anything really. What they were good at was taking existing platforms and then developing them into products.

If anybody believes that the USSR was third in the world in computing in the 1950s they they are naive. The USSR never had a high tech industrial base. It had a heavy engineering industrial base due to them having lots of energy and iron reserves.
