You know, I sometimes think that Jobs notion of treating IBM as the "Enemy" was as stupid as it was shortsighted.

Still, it did launch his Apple company and it set in concrete the notion of the "Us Vs Them" mentality, that underlines the "Cult of Mac"...( In Starwars parlance...Mac is kinda like the "Rebel Alliance"...)

If he had played his cards right, we might have all ended up using Mac 0s-7 instead of Windows 3.1

He (jobs) would have undoubtedly been a Gazzillionaire by now...but in some ways, I think the computing world would have been a profoudly different world..and not neccessarily for the better...

For one thing, I am sure Jobs would have done his utmost to crush the Linux world..

Jobs is by far the more ruthless tyrant...

In the end he has to be pretty close to that anyway, and I doubt between then and now, that he was having a hard time with finances.
But now with the ipod, iphone, ipod touch, and that new laptop that is as thin as a dollar bill. I would have to say he is still creating art.

As for the movie, I have seen it before, but that did not stop me from watching the whole thing again, from the link you posted. Which is
pretty cool in itself.
