I am not really interested in this argument.  But let's not rewrite history.
The Lisa WAS Jobs' baby, in fact it was named (ostensibly) for his daughter.
But when he kept trying to add more and more features, delaying the release
and increasing costs, he was removed from the project.  But make no mistake,
the design belongs to Steve, and it IS one of the most beautifully engineered
computers ever made.
