Oh, THAT quote! I posted both articles, the Jobs quote was from a talk
he gave at MIT around '85 when he was still with Apple.

He mentioned that he felt that one of Apple's strengths was its ability
to get a product from conception to market in relatively short times.
This was probably a reflection of his Mac experience more than anything
else, I don't know if he had much to do with the Mac ][.

Sorry for the confusion.
