That interviewer really seemed to be ignorant of the facts as Jeff knows them and asked questions that kept annoying him.

Left the strong impression that Jeff thought him an idiot and his questions leave the reader feeling Jeff might be right.

It might have been an emailed list of questions, rather than a real-time conversation.

		It was pretty obviously a one-way street; likely emailed.

It's not a great interview and it's sad that Raskin passed a month later.

> JW: The original Mac was to be sold for $600. When it finally arrived it cost $2,500 and today the cheapest Mac is $699. Is this a disappointment to you?

> JR: Which? the $2,500, the $699? It was never supposed to be $600.

Like.. terrible question, annoyed interview subject.

Yeah that's a really stiff interview to publish, it reads like the interviewer pulled up to him while he was eating lunch and peppered him with questions.

		Sometimes these interviews are done via a single email filled with questions and are not performed in-person, so the answer of a question isn't always carried forward into future questions, which can seem awkward from afar.
