• Steve [Jobs] and I spent months getting to know each other before I joined Apple. He had no exposure to marketing other than what he picked up on his own. This is sort of typical of Steve. When he knows something is going to be important, he tries to absorb as much as he possibly can.

  John Sculley

Hoping to stimulate creativity. And it stuck. And that's why we're called Apple.
