Pixar and Disney
In 1986, Jobs bought The Graphics Group (later renamed Pixar) from Lucasfilm's computer graphics division for the price of $10 million, $5 million of which was given to the company as capital.[56]The new company, which was originally based at Lucasfilm's Kerner Studios in San Rafael, California, but has since relocated to Emeryville, California, was initially intended to be a high-end graphics hardware developer. After years of unprofitability selling the Pixar Image Computer, it contracted with Disney to produce a number of computer-animated feature films, which Disney would co-finance and distribute.

Example: IBM Hebrew keyboards have two groups, with English on the second group. The English group is accessed by pressing the Alt and the left Shift keys. It is possible to fit both English and Hebrew into one group consisting of three levels. If lowercase English characters are on the first level, uppercase English characters on the second level, and Hebrew characters on the third level, the user must use the Level 3 Select function for every character to enter Hebrew text. This arrangement is not a practical solution.
