That's the one Dave.

The engineering team worked on it for months making it as small as they possible could. On presenting it to Steve Jobs he looked at it and said he wanted it smaller. The engineers insisted that they couldn't make it any smaller. Steve Jobs being the man he was (difficult at times) picked it up and threw it in his fish tank. When the bubbles came out he said to the engineering team "if there's air in there it can be made smaller, make it smaller" and they did. Since then of course there have been various sizes of iPod, the tiny Shuffle being the smallest. Now of course the same stuff is on the iPhone as well.

Well done and over to you.
