We sat around the table at supper last night and talked about his legacy. He wasn't an easy man to deal with and Andy had one of the best stories about how differently he would think.

A crew of engineers and designers had brought him a prototype and he was upset at the size of the new machine. Kept demanding that they needed to make it smaller. They protested that it was impossible, that they had gone to the limits of downsizing the unit. Fed up, he walked over to a fishtank in the room and dropped the prototype in....a cascade of bubbles emerged. All that air meant there was still plenty of empty space within.

Even if you don't like the way he operated or his machines, if you use a computer or cell phone, you are using a piece of technology that was made better by that company's effort to keep up with Apple's achievements.
