"The way Steve Jobs described the computer—as a bicycle for the mind" (createdigitalmusic.com)

Wow, read that first comment:

"As a mere customer who emailed Mr Jobs 6 times over the past 10 years … and who received 3 replies and a phone call (really…) all I can say is the man ran his company on making the products as good as they could possibly be at that moment. WE should all just try that hard…"

Apple actually tried, unsuccessfully, to rename the Macintosh to 'Bicycle' during development. [1]

A good friend of mine is very fond of this quote and reminds me regularly of this idea.

Thank-you for sharing.
