This was before he got the boot. Other quotes I remember, roughly, 
"users don't need colour" and "users don't need expandability" in 
between him saying "Apple II forever"
Pretty sure he was behind crippling the //GS as well as with the fastest 
65816 available it was a better Mac then the Mac. Colour, expandable, 
lots of bug fixes when MacOS was ported to it, ADB for connectivity, 
though Mac got that pretty quick. Not to mention a huge catalog of software.
