Time decided they were going to make me Man of the Year, and I was twenty-seven, so I actually cared about stuff like that. I thought it was pretty cool. They sent out Mike Moritz to write a story. We're the same age, and I had been very successful, and I could tell he was jealous. So the editors in New York get this story and say, "We can't make this guy Man of the Year." That really hurt. But it was a good lesson. It taught me to never get too excited about things like that, since the media is a circus anyway.

Raskin said, "He's a dreadful manager. I've always liked Steve but I've found it impossible to work for him. Jobs regularly misses appointments. He acts without thinking and with bad judgment. He doesn't give credit where due. Very often, when told of a new idea, he'll immediately attack it and say that it is worthless, and tell you that it was a waste of time to work on it. But if the idea is a good one he will soon be telling people about it as though it was his own.
