Ha, he must have forgotten offering to sell Apple to Commodore back in the Apple I days for a few hundred thousand dollars. Not to say that we should punish people whose views change, but it does seem that a lot of his success in Apple's early days was based on quickly and smartly capitalizing on small projects (eg quickly bringing Woz's engineering feats to market), not necessarily building the enduring platform that became his mission. From the Isaacson bio, he strikes me as a gambler/experimenter whose first company (thanks to much skill, foresight and luck) just so happened to make sense as a long term concern.
