Capacity crowd reminsces about Apple, Jobs
updated 10:25 am EDT, Mon September 15, 2003
Wired News has a over the weekend, which attracted more than 1,300 ex-Apple employees to the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California: "The event was both a reunion and an opportunity for the museum to gather stories from veteran employees. Not surprisingly, many of the stories told during the evening revolved around Steve Jobs, the charismatic co-founder of the company...Also not surprising were the many stories about Jobs as a demanding and hot-tempered leader."

Funny how so many are willing to chime in with their "Jobs is an a**hole" story yet so very few have the balls to actually put their name to it. Obviously some of them may be in positions where it could land them in hot water but I think that a good many of these stories could well be taken with a pinch of salt. Like him or loathe him, Jobs has done a better job than any of Apple's other CEO's and when you look at things like iPod, iMac, G5 and iLife you have to give him and his team (especially his team) credit.
Frankly, with Apple cosntantly being on the edge of such a small market share, I think the guy necessarily has to be that way. Creatives are often fabulous people but getting so many to work together cohesively can be very difficult.
