However, he joined the company in 1992, so individual projects, including the second-generation Newtons, show his touch. I believe he was also the principal designer of the TAM.

The nexus at iMac now I can see in context was a pre-cursor to the iPod family. Product planning is so much more complex than just design languages, it's easy looking at this to forget huge unmet need in the market, which in some ways as iTunes took off also helped kick off iPod into high gear, yet iTMS was software not hardware so it's influence and adption isn't visualized in the products chart. TO really nerd out you have to add the ecosystem of their killer threadware: iTMS, .mac, iLife, etc. Nice work though! This is great, a nice addition of new layers of meaning.
