On: Apple Goes Semi-Pro (Part One)

I don't know if I'd say they have a particularly impressive history of "being right". There are some things they do right, and of course the last several years have been huge for Apple, but success now doesn't translate to historical success. They had a pretty hard time through the 90s, and I think that most of their stuff from that time was inferior to the competition.

They didn't have Steve Jobs for most of the 90s.

That's cool, but the parent didn't say Steve Jobs had been right, he said Apple had been right.

And I'm saying that Apple's rightness has a lot to do with Steve Jobs being an influential part of the company.
