I'm surprised AT&T didn't sue the hell out of apple because BLIT is clearly older than the Macintosh. BLIT is actually from 1982 as is shown in the video at 3:50 and in the copyright notice some seconds later. The wikipedia article also claims it's 1882.

It works fine:

If I'm sarcastic and you don't get it, it's because you're incompetent at reading.

If you're sarcastic and I don't get it, it's because you're incompetent at writing.

See? Perfect!

AT&T actually did go around suing various graphics vendors.
