Apple employee number 31, Jeff Raskin, wanted to set the record straight about who actually founded the Macintosh project -- he said it wasn't Steve Jobs. Raskin said that he was the father of the Macintosh, a project he developed in the 1960s, before there was an Apple Computer Inc. Raskin said that Jobs only became involved in the project 'after he was thrown off the Lisa project because he was too meddlesome.' Raskin went on to talk about the Macintosh and what he thought of where Steve Jobs has taken the computer over the years.
