When NeXT first came out with point-and-click to focus (i.e., to make a
window come to the front and become the key window requires you to move the
cursor onto the window and press the mouse button), there was a lot of 
screaming and gnashing of teeth from Sun and Mac users, who were used to
just pointing at a window and banging on the keys.

Now Apple has announced that version 7.0 of the Mac operating system, due
out later this year, will switch to point-and-click to focus.

So Steve is still helping design Apples! :-)
