  Jobs brought in a great team from NeXT - like Jon Rubinstein, who oversaw the development of the iMac and the iPod, and later came as close to rescuing Palm, Inc. (with the Pre) as was possible.

    Yep that's a good point as well. Jobs wasn't the only valuable person who came from NeXT.

      Another was Avadis "Avie" Tevanian, who worked on Mach at Carnegie Mellon University before joining NeXT. He took over Apple software.
