________________________________ From: Fred Cisin <cisin at xenosoft.com> He had a remarkable talent for coming up with the right TIMING for introducing the next iteration of existing products. He was extraordinarily skilful at marketing, and creating intense brand loyalty. iPod iPhone iPad were all versions of existing products that had not previously been very successful in the market. C: A combination of yuppy love for way too expensive inferior machines and marketing made Jobs the success he was. The original Macs put him/Apple on the map in a sense. I love the Macs, don't get me wrong, but technical marvels they were ---NOT---. They were silly fun computers. For silly people who liked to have fun. I guess that makes me silly too :(
