    Oft repeated, and not untrue, but very incomplete.

    Jobs also made a lot of people. A lot of fortunes in SilVal only exist because of Steve Jobs.

    He also virtually single handedly and without much fanfare at the time or credit in the history books created the employee compensation model that came to define SilVal success, with workaday employees and especially engineering contributors receiving stock options to reward them and keep them invested in the company's success.
