    Same with Jobs on the “visionary” part – the only thing that guy ever visualized was bigger stacks of money.

      I think Jobs had his issues, but I do have to consider it fair for folks to claim him to be a visionary.

      There was a presentation back in '97 where someone a bilt salty about Apple abandoning OpenDoc for Java and Jobs had a pretty solid response with insight.

      Not so sure about post-iPod Jobs, but once upon a time he certainly seemed a respectable business leader with good product focus.
