A lot of people talk about how fast computers are, and are very concerned about the speed of them. What a lot of people don't know is that many cars are actually computers and they go a lot faster than the computers that you have in your home, or even your office! Technology is cool like that.

I think if it does things with numbers better than I can do on my own then it is a computer, so what is a computer really depends on what kind of numbers the person using it can "crunch" in their own mind

Raskin had one problem: Jobs regarded him as an insufferable theorist or, to use Jobs's own more precise terminology, "a shithead who sucks".
