Wow, read that first comment:

"As a mere customer who emailed Mr Jobs 6 times over the past 10 years … and who received 3 replies and a phone call (really…) all I can say is the man ran his company on making the products as good as they could possibly be at that moment. WE should all just try that hard…"

A good friend of mine is very fond of this quote and reminds me regularly of this idea.

Thank-you for sharing.
