Job's genius came from the fact that he was not a propellor-head. He didn't understand a lot about how computers work. He didn't want something that only geeks know how to work properly. Whenever they showed him a new design that required some geekiness to make it work, he told them to try again. He knew that if he, with his limited computer knowledge, could make the device work, then almost anyone could. Just as Coca-Cola is built on the word "Euphoria," Jobs wanted "Delight." Yes, that's an arty concept, backed up by buildings full of engineers who knew how to translate it from abstract into something we can touch and see.
