Just think about the issues he's had to face to get Apple to where it's at and to force people to create what he believed in, I can only imagine how many times he had to repeat himself, especially in earlier times when they might have not been the "cool" thing. My guess is that when Apple offered him a position, they knew and Steve Jobs knew exactly what they'd deal with, and felt they could handle it. In the end, my bet is that Apple will have their master of paper. I'm jealous of him for being able to work directly under Steve Jobs...
