I don't remember the exact quote so try not to flame me for getting it wrong- A while back Steve Jobs was courting that guy(forgot his name) from PepsiCo for the CEO position at Apple and he said something like; "Come on Man, stop selling sugar water and help me make a dent in the universe"

View on HN

Steve Jobs to John Sculley: "Would you rather sell sugar water to kids for the rest of your life, or would you like a chance to change the world?"

Thanks Anti, thats the quote alright, it seems I incorrectly remembered the "dent" line came from that discussion, I was wrong. (So many books, so many quotes, so many people, so much information!)

Carry on then...

I think the Jobs quote you're referring to is "We're here to make a dent in the universe". I think it was during the development of the original Mac, but I'm not sure.
