Arthur Rock bad guy portrayal...

Roc was one of the earliest investors in Apple and owned a fair number of shares of stock and was on the Apple board. He was not the chairman and did not as far as I know have a management position at Apple. He is portrayed as somebody more powerful than he really was.

I guess somebody has to portray the bottom line old style corporate line so he was the guy. He is portrayed as the anti Jobs which in retrospect makes him something of a moron. Most of his concerns were legit. The Mac sales were poor and competition was intense.

Amazingly this guy is still alive at age 94. His venture capital investment did help get the ball rolling.
