Here's what I'm gonna do. I'm going to announce the names of everyone who designed the launch demo. I'm gonna introduce everyone and ask them to stand up. "The bag was designed by Susan Kate. The Macintosh font that's scrolling across the screen was designed by Steve Kapps. The starry night and skywriting was Bruce Horn." Mac Paint. Mac Write. ALICE. Down to the calculator! And then I'm gonna say, "The voice demo that didn't work was designed by Andy Hertzfeld." […] Five in six is your chance of surviving the first round of Russian Roulette, and you've reversed those odds. So unless you wanna be disgraced in front of your friends, family, colleagues, stockholders and the press, I wouldn't stand here arguing. Now go try and get some more bullets out of the gun. (after a moment of brief silence) DO IT, ANDY!
Steve Jobs quotes
Page 2 of 2I forced the vote because I believed I was right. I still believe I'm right, and I'm right. Now, I bled that night, and I don't bleed. But time's done its thing, and I really haven't thought about it in a while.

Remember that painting you drew on the original Mac? I do.
The Mac is beige, I'm beige, the disk is blue. The shirt has to be white.
We will know soon enough if you are Leonardo Da Vinci or just think you are.
You know, when people used to ask me what the difference was between me and Steve Jobs, I would say "Steve was the big picture guy and I liked a solid workbench". When people ask the difference now, I say "Steve’s an asshole".
