       | > How the Connection Machine inspired Steve Jobs:
       | 
       | My old friend Joanna Hoffman was marketing manager for the first
       | Macintosh and the NeXT computer, and Steve Jobs' "right hand," as
       | depicted by Kate Winslet in the film "Steve Jobs." In 1986, when
       | the Connection Machine came out, Jobs asked her to get its
       | designer to create his new NeXT computer as well. To which Joanna
       | replied, "Too late, Tamiko has gone to Europe to become an
       | artist!" But the machine made a lasting impression on him, and
       | from that point on, Jobs' designs were not merely useful - they
       | were visually sublime.
