    Were Sacagawea and Susan B. Anthony too woke?

    If only there was a person who actually had anything to do with the Cray 1 they could put on it instead? Maybe that person will even share the name with the computer?

    It gets worse the more you think about it. Cray and Jobs had completely opposing paradigms for how to develop computers. Cray was always innovating and providing capability, Jobs was always simplifying and burying low-level tools.

    Steve Jobs was the Edison of personal computing.

    Jobs was a glorified salesman. Edison was an oligarch notorious for lying, cheating, stealing, and his complete lack of ethics and morals.

    I'm absolutely no fan of Jobs but Edison was the bigger bastard.

    Jobs took credit for everyone else's work. He presented himself as a visionary and a creator, when he was mostly just a liar and a thief.

    Maybe Edison was worse. I'm not saying Jobs was worse than Edison. I'm saying Jobs fabricated a legacy that a lot of people still believe, and will believe for a long time.

    If we have to memorialize someone from Apple make it Wozniak and not Jobs. This is embarrassing to computing as a whole. Dude was practically just a salesmen.
