乔布斯传之节选8

Cinderella

from Chapter 8

In his excitement, Jobs began to take over the daily management of the Lisa project, which was being run by John Couch, the former HP engineer. Ignoring Couch, he dealt directly with Atkinson and Tesler to insert his own ideas, especially on Lisa’s graphical interface design. “He would call me at all hours, 2 a.m. or 5 a.m.,” said Tesler. “I loved it. But it upset my bosses at the Lisa division.” Jobs was told to stop making out-of-channel calls. He held himself back for a while, but not for long.

Atkinson and Jobs became best friends for a while, eating together at the Good Earth most nights. But John Couch and the other professional engineers on his Lisa team, many of them buttoned-down HP types, resented Jobs’s meddling and were infuriated by his frequent insults. There was also a clash of visions. Jobs wanted to build a VolksLisa, a simple and inexpensive product for the masses. “There was a tug-of-war between people like me, who wanted a lean machine, and those from HP, like Couch, who were aiming for the corporate market,” Jobs recalled.

Both Mike Scott and Mike Markkula were intent on bringing some order to Apple and became increasingly concerned about Jobs’s disruptive behavior. So in September 1980, they secretly plotted a reorganization. Couch was made the undisputed manager of the Lisa division. Jobs lost control of the computer he had named after his daughter. He was also stripped of his role as vice president for research and development. He was made non-executive chairman of the board. This position allowed him to remain Apple’s public face, but it meant that he had no operating control. That hurt. “I was upset and felt abandoned by Markkula,” he said. “He and Scotty felt I wasn’t up to running the Lisa division. I brooded about it a lot.”

乔布斯十分兴奋，开始插手丽萨项目的日常管理，该项目当时的负责人是曾经的惠普工程师约翰·库奇。乔布斯完全忽略了库奇的存在，直接与阿特金森和特斯勒通气，灌输自己的想法，尤其是关于丽萨的图形界面设计。“他会在任何时间给我打电话，凌晨两点或者早上5点，”特斯勒说，“我喜欢这样。但是丽萨项目的头儿们不高兴了。”乔布斯被要求停止越级管理。他安静了一段时间，但很快又按捺不住了。
阿特金森和乔布斯在一段时间内成为了挚友，大多数晚上都在美好地球餐厅一起吃饭。但约翰·库奇和丽萨团队中的其他专业工程师们（大多都是惠普工程师那种类型的传统保守之人），痛恨乔布斯插手丽萨项目，也被他不断的侮辱所激怒。双方在观念上也有冲突。乔布斯想要制造大众电脑，操作简单、价格低廉，适合普通人使用。他回忆说：“像我这样的人，我们想要制造适合大多数人的电脑，而那帮和库奇一样在惠普干过的人，他们的目标是企业市场，我们之间进行了激烈的拉锯战。”
斯科特和马库拉一心要给苹果公司带来秩序，也越来越担心乔布斯制造分裂的行为。于是，1980年9月，他们秘密策划了公司的重组。库奇成为了丽萨项目不容置疑的管理者。乔布斯失去了对以自己女儿命名的电脑的控制。他同时还被解除了研发部门副总裁的职务，被任命为董事会的非执行主席，也就是说，他依然代表苹果公司的公众形象，但手中再无实权。这深深刺痛了乔布斯的心。“我很难过，感觉被马库拉遗弃了，”他说，“他和斯科蒂觉得我无法胜任丽萨项目的管理工作。这件事让我郁闷地思考了很久。”
