    My god this is poorly written: "he beats to a different drummer." I didn't know it was possible to mangle a cliche so thoroughly. Also, regurgitating jobs' best quotes and attributing them to "legend" is not informative in the least. Next time anybody thinks of voting a story like this up ask thyself "what would jon Gruber do?"

    Loved the “If I asked someone who had only used a personal calculator what a Macintosh should be like, they couldn’t have told me. There was no way to do consumer research on it, so I had to go and create it, and then show it to people, and say now what do you think?” quote.

    Now I have something to go along with Henry Ford's one.
