    He was a dick, but he had a good mind for products. He wasn’t infallible, but he had a sense of taste that was useful in driving others who had greater skills than he.

      What’s an anecdote of a single positive thing he’s done?

      (You can’t use the Lisa because he pretended most of her life that this child he pretended wasn’t his also wasn’t the namesake of the computer?

        Not an anecdote: he slashed a product line that was confusing and introduced a four quad chart: Laptop, desktop, consumer, pro. It didn’t last (see MacBook Air among MacBook and MacBook Pro), but it was obviously better. If you’re in such denial that he was a great leader during his second stint at Apple, I don’t know what to tell you.
