It's 3m and to the point. Build products the customer wants instead of building and marketing your existing tech.
It is remarkable how prescient he is about the future that was a decade away. How revolutionary some of the things he demo'd were at the time that we now take absolutely for granted.
The man was mercurial and probably not fun to work for. And many a marriage or personal relationship was probably ruined by the intense Apple work environment at the time.
But he shaped (not built) a lot of our future. No one else at the time was as visionary.
And I say this as someone who endlessly criticized Apple at the time. I hated everything they were doing. I thought they were making toys for finger painters. I didn't see it.
