Jobs: Oh, absolutely. But I will put forth my theory to you, because, of course, I get asked this question a lot. My response is very simple -- I can only look back at my own history. The Apple 2 was a hit. The Apple 3 was a miss. Lisa was a miss. The Macintosh was a hit. Silicon Valley is a hits business. It's no less of a hits business than I see in the film business. At least Pixar's second film doesn't have to be backwards compatible with its first. So that's my answer. Life is a hits business as best as I can tell.
