I found this via Daring Fireball, another quote from Steve Jobs, about looking forward(from an article by Steven Levy on the Mac's 25th birthday). Hate to beat a dead horse, especially in the New Year, but this hammer ain't goin' away anytime soon. To quote Axel Rose's Chinese Democracy, "all I got is precious time."
Steven Levy:
It's the 25th anniversary of the Apple Macintosh, but Steve Jobs' eyes are dry. At the company headquarters in Silicon Valley, where he was presenting a set of new laptops to the press last October, I mentioned the birthday to him. Jobs recoiled at any suggestion of nostalgia. "I don't think about that," he said. "When I got back here in 1997, I was looking for more room, and I found an archive of old Macs and other stuff. I said, 'Get it away!' and I shipped all that shit off to Stanford. If you look backward in this business, you'll be crushed. You have to look forward."
