Didn't that laser printer and the Apple software that became Adobe pretty much create "desktop publishing"?
I've heard a few people talk about hypercard being neat at the time.
Yeah, they did some stuff lately, whatever. But you really have no appreciation for how cool woz's disk drive was? That was pretty amazing.
- general_failure 14y agoDude, that was Apple the company and not Steve jobs doing. What's wrong with everyone? Steve jobs didn't come up with every darn idea and implemente every darn thing. You know what John Chambers is awesome. He invented routers, switches, hubs, IP phones, Conferencing systems, Telco switches, things that power practically 50% of the internet all by himself.

- jfoutz 14y agoYou know what, you're right. The newton was Gassée, and jobs probably did nothing with the laser printer. However, i think stuff like this: http://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?project=Macintosh&story=Round_Rects_Are_Everywhere.txt http://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?project=Macintosh&s... indicates Jobs pushed good people to do their best work. The mac wouldn't be the mac without jobs. Neither would the Next cube. Maybe John Chambers is just as involved with every product Cisco makes, but a terrible self promoter.
