>> The years leading up to a technological singularity always are.

Oh, yeah. You've seen lots of them. LOL.

You are so full of it.

>> But being a visionary doesn't mean you can be successful.

No, not even close. There are plenty of visionaries who haven't been successful.

But Jobs was both the most significant visionary of modern times (probably since Feynman's 1959 paper, "There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom") -- and insanely successful. The rollout of homebrew computers was an insanely fun time for those of us who were there, but few saw what Apple was doing at the very beginning as revolutionary.

If, after seeing your first McIntosh hands on, you didn't recognize it as visionary, revolutionary, and an utter sea change for computing, then you are tone deaf to it.

Sure Microsoft had the money, but they stole the vision.
