He had to sign off on the investment and take responsibility for success or failure. He did break the mold of the industry in the matter of color and shape of the products -- even in the type of plastic used. He had faith in the unitary Mac, mass market principle. After he returned to Apple, the company revived. He quickly integrated the flat panel display in the unitary Mac. I don't think we can challenge him on that.
