"one of", not "the"? Now I'm wondering what could someone like him regret more than the choice that literally killed him?

I never like to let people forget the raw fruit diet comes from a cult that believes people from Venus told us that's the key to eternal life
So they went ahead and picked the least habitable planet in our entire solar system to harbor a civilization? They should have said Europa, at least then it would have been moderately believable.
That's just how good fruit is for you, you can even live on Venus no problem

Well they do sorta have a point. Even Jobs said he shouldn't have ignored treatment for so long.

I'd be far more interested in learning more about the other folks on the Macintosh team. They're an amazing group of people who put a lot of care into something they believed in, Steve Jobs notwithstanding. What they did with what they had was amazing, and the fact that they got lost in Jobs' spotlight is tragic.

Thought Apples would save him back.
Destroyed computer-aided collaboration.

It's unfortunate because his leadership / sense of taste is what made Apple a powerhouse. Under Tim Apple, the software has languished. They're great at hardware and the software is far from great. What a shame.
Eh, I feel like Jobs was in charge when he could create new products.
Outside of a different Apple Watch launch, I don't see Jobs really having the ability to create new innovative products.
Yeah computers were doubling in speed every 18 months back then. And there were competing products oftentimes years before Apple put out their version. Apple primarily put a lot of polish onto the technological innovations that were happening at the time.
Don't get me wrong polish is really important. Apple didn't invent the MP3 player or the smartphone. But the MP3 players before the iPod were really fiddley and janky. BlackBerries had a downright primitive look and feel next to an iPhone.
Also marketing... a lot of people didn't know MP3 players existed until they saw advertisements for the iPod.

being smart at something doesn't mean youre smart at everything. not that im saying that jobs was smart, but its not a given. e.g how there are scientists who are anti-vax
