well, actually, that talented tech guy (Jobs). founded the company and was later forced out. he got back in when they came back and groveled as he was developing NeXTStep OS and hardware.
but point understood.
I was thinking of Woz.
It's impossible to argue that Jobs didn't have a sharp eye for marketing, but most of the brilliance Apple got famous for was other people's work paired with Jobs' marketing. And Jobs was a complete fucking weirdo, from abusing his employees to dying because he refused to accept other forms of cancer treatment than eating fucking fruit.
