It's interesting to note that Charles Eames passed on right at the Apple II began to take off. Having recently watched the new Eames documentary (http://firstrunfeatures.com/eames/) I was struck by how similar Charles Eames was to Steve jobs, both in vision and attitude.

Some of their work for IBM:
