I think that Steve Jobs would beg to differ with your statement.  He basically
WAS the design manager of the Mac.  He was making most of the design
decisions, just as he had done on the Lisa before.  He was not laying out
circuits or writing the ROM code, but he was the person that controlled the
direction of the machine.  He hasn't really done any more for the NeXT that
you seem to willingly give him design credit for.  He isn't a programmer or an
engineer, just a concept man.  
 
And I don't see what useful purpose or input would be gained by posting
Abernathy's note on the NeXT forum.  Jobs isn't going to reply, is he.
