John Carmack is such a delight to listen to in interviews, there are so many people like that from that particular time period of game development, Carmack, Ed Boon, Peter Molyneux, Lord British himself, Richard Garriot and so many others.
Every time I've ever seen a talk or interview by one of them, they seem articulate and knowledgeable about whatever they're talking about, I can only assume Carmack must have found arguing with Steve Jobs absolutely infuriating.
It's also saddening to hear *again* about Jobs' personal dislike for gaming on the mac platform, when you consider around the time of this conversation some retailers were pushing mac gaming pretty hard, around this time and until probably the early 2000s I remember a british retailer John Lewis/Heelas used to have a massive selection of Mac games, there were big mac sections in Electronic Boutique, etc, it was a great time to have a mac.
