I don't know. I've seen real damage done by somebody trying to imitate mercurial and ruthless aspects of Jobs. And let me remind you that Jobs was not afraid of telling direct lies to his partners "... Jobs told him that Atari gave them only $700 (instead of the offered $5,000), and that Wozniak's ...". I really really don't know....

^^ This is exactly why we at least need to talk about both men when trying to emulate the Apple phenomenon. Probably a few others from the last decade as well. Apple didn't happen because of Jobs (full stop).

Jobs was but one part, and emulating only him will leave almost anyone miserable, despised, lonely and broke.
