20 years ago, Steve Jobs built the “coolest computer ever”–and it bombed
- smt88 6y agoThis design was exemplary of Jobs' aesthetics-over-usability designs. I remember trying to use one in my college's lab. The lab assistant and I spent 20 minutes trying to figure out how to turn it on. Finally we discovered the power button was hidden on the bottom of the machine. I still bump into Jobs' philosophy, that simplicity means hiding everything from the user. "Clean" and "minimal" is not always good and often not the most usable.
