    no, apple did not pay any cash to xerox for a tour of PARC. but apple did let xerox buy apple stock at a low price prior to going public. xerox made plenty of money from apple.

  4. Nerds 2.0.1 by instinctdesign · · Score: 5, Informative

    The article mentions the PBS special Nerds 2.0.1 but doesn't link to the compendium site, which is worth checking out. Check out the Nerds 2.0.1 site, or more specifically, the section on Cisco.

    It was a good series that is defiantly worth checking out if its on your local PBS station.
