When I was younger I never quite got what Steve talked about sometimes / wasn't interested. I think I dismissed it as PR hype or whatever (don't listen to the man in the suit!).

Now I hear it and with hindsight and probably just being in the future decades later it seems so on point and such a simple explanation for what to me earlier (if I really thought about it) seemed like "Man for that to be there has to be... <brain seizes up>".

His explanations seem effortless.



This is Steve's gift. He understands complex and abstracts concepts and is able to offer up a simple analogy or explanation that anyone can understand. It seems easy, but if you have spent time around enough highly intelligent and technical folks you will know it is not a common trait.


This was Feynman's superpower, too.


  in the suit
In the tee shirt! SJ may have worn a suit or a turtle-neck, but Apple culture back then was anti-IBM and tee shirts were part of that.


Me when I was younger "Don't fall for the lack of a suit, it's still there!"
