In those days, Jobs' difficulty and indifference to the health and practical limitations of his engineers -- excuse me, "reality distortion field" -- did make him a figure of secret ridicule at Apple. Jobs also encouraged people whom he actually respected to stand up to him -- apparently, confronting him without backing down was a way of gaining his respect. Perhaps that, too, figured into people's attitudes toward him.

Still, even Wozniak seems to think that the story behind the first Macintosh represents Jobs at his worst and best. Even he seems bitter about the lack of credit that Raskin received.
