This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

He didn't create new products. He conducted the people who were creating new products and steered them. He wasn't a genius. He was good at guiding people who were.
I'm not saying Jobs was a genius, but he was skilled at leading product design teams that turned cutting edge hardware to practical applications that the market could understand.
And, in general, the market over the past few years has seen little hardware innovation.
What? Microsoft is putting an AI key on every keyboard! Now there's two keys to replace if you don't run windows. If that's not innovation, I don't know what is.
You're also talking about a man who thought touchscreens were a bad idea.
And then lead the design team that created the implementation of touchscreens that became standard.
We're saying the same thing.
