Jobs on Rand: “I asked him if he would come up with a few options, and he said, ‘No, I will solve your problem for you and you will pay me. You don’t have to use the solution. If you want options go talk to other people.’”
Wow, talk about a taste of your own medicine! I love it.
No, Jobs is entirely consistent. He brought this up as an example of what made Rand great.
It would be a "taste of his own medicine" if Paul Rand's terms resulted in a bad outcome for Jobs and NeXT.
(Also, I really like the products that Jobs makes, because they're really well designed and conceived. Apple products are great for the same reason that Paul Rand was great.)
I had originally written that they were "cut from the same cloth". In retrospect that's probably a better characterization. I imagine Jobs smiling to himself that he had clearly picked the right guy for the job.
