It is really late for me, and I don’t have a dog in this fight, just wanted to tell my experience from trying to manage the details of our micro business experience over the years.
You may be coming from different business/life experience, and your view might be so divergent from mine that we can’t find each other in the fog...
The last 35 years have been such an interesting ride for all of us. so, to each his own.
Our business is now no longer, because my husband has died. But MacIntosh, and Apple enhanced our self-employment and our ability to succeed, and it enriched us in so many ways
I will always be grateful to Apple for that.
None of us leave this life without sin, ego, pride, and gross errors in judgment.
Steve Jobs is not a saint, and none of us should revere him. He was just as flawed as the rest of us are...But he did do a good thing, as Martha would say.
Not sure I see the point in the effort to take him down at this point in time. What is that about?
Who said i want to take him down? All i am saying is that if you are going to do a bio-doc on someone it is best to present as real of a picture of the person as you can, good and bad. His wife is biased positive. Others are biased negative. They both have real experiences with the person and you treat family different than work folks. Jobs himself would create a bio on imself totally different than what anyone else would too.
Just because someone also has an abrasive or harsh work character doesnt also mean they cant be visionary and produe things useful to people. The one honestly has little to do with the other. You can also be a really good person that never invents anything that helps others be more produtive.
