"In fact, throughout his career, Jobs has been notable as much for the products he has resisted selling as for the ones he has pursued. During the mid-'80s, after his falling-out with John Sculley, the former PepsiCo executive he hired in 1983 to run Apple, Jobs resisted repeated proposals from young Macintosh engineers to join them in efforts to create hand-held digital devices that would ultimately become the Newton and General Magic projects. It would be a wise decision, for both Newton, the personal digital assistant, and General Magic, a similar hand-held computer, proved to be ahead of their time, and neither led to successful consumer products."
