Steve Jobs on Macintosh
Jobs described Macintosh as a computer built for ordinary people, with a mouse, windows, icons, and simple pointing instead of specialist skills. Across later talks, he kept stressing that the Mac mattered as a product of taste, teamwork, and innovation, not just raw technical power, and that its ideas should keep moving forward.
“Macintosh, the computer for the rest of us.”
“We don't think most users are going to miss the optical drive.”
“Macintosh, as an example, was a real step.”
