This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

"leadership" by which you mean being abusive to his colleagues and refusing to take a shower.
He was a dick, but he had a good mind for products. He wasn't infallible, but he had a sense of taste that was useful in driving others who had greater skills than he.
What's an anecdote of a single positive thing he's done?
(You can't use the Lisa because he pretended most of her life that this child he pretended wasn't hers also wasn't the namesake of the computer?
Not an anecdote: he slashed a product line that was confusing and introduced a four quad chart: Laptop, desktop, consumer, pro. It didn't last (see MacBook Air among MacBook and MacBook Pro), but it was obviously better. If you're in such denial that he was a great leader during his second stint at Apple, I don't know what to tell you.
Fact check: he did shower. It’s just his definition of a shower was plunging his feed in the company toilets.
