Microsoft later licensed the use of much of Apple's graphical user interface (the mouse pointer, the Trash / Recycle Bin, pop-up menus, etc.).
Apple Labs invented TrueType font technology, QuickTime, and IEEE-1394, among others. Apple also invented the word "multimedia," which is now used to describe most of the desktop computers sold today.
Apple is also the first company to launch a succesful commecial online music service.

Get the Computer Graphicated mug.The form of digital art which manipulates real scenarios/scenes in a fashion which maintains that realism.
The digital transformation of the real subject need not be physically plausible, as long as that realism is maintained.
For example, transforming a real building into a robot would be considered computealism as long as there were enough real looking steps in the transformation from real building to digital robot.
A simple morphing of the above building into a robot would not be enough to constitute computealism.
