at least steve built his company from the gorund up than buying other peoples work him and WOZ were the best. the thing that i have always loved about apple computers was that, it was not just a computer it is like a work of art that you can show proudly in the room than than sticking it in a dark corner.

he also stifled the acceleration of collaborative advancement for an entire industry with his proprietary paranoia

we'll never know what could have been based on what wasn't allowed to be

plenty respect for the feller and the company, just none for the paranoid practices which not only cost the consumer in the wallet, also cost the industry

some people can't see down halls for trying to look around corners
