After the long introduction, I almost don't speak at all! The interview isn't just
for hard core computer history enthusiasts, but also for a mainstream audience.
I got as far as when he started with "all I
thought you ever did was fire Steve Jobs and ruin Apple"
I don't care what you think of the guy, but that was just insulting.
It was a joke, and John laughed at it. I then made sure to say to both the audience and
John that I was joking. If you had listened to the introduction then you would have heard
where I made it clear that I was a fan of John Sculley's and etc. Also, that I thought
he was getting a bad rap. These are exactly the two main misconceptions which the
interview addresses.
