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.
Wasn't Woz really the brain behind it all?
One of several, but the first and probably most influential. Met Woz. He's brilliant, but a weird dude.
is this heads/tails? i dont think steve jobs had nothing to do with cray-1?
So, you think Jobs had something to do with cray-1? What was it?
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.
