 President of NURV Gary Winston appears to be an amalgam of the CEOs  of Microsoft and Apple: Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, respectively.  NURV resembles Microsoft in power and composition, and Winstons  appearance is modeled after Gates. But Gary Winston also posesses  Steve Jobs cutthroat business drive, fiery temper, and motivational  speeches. This combination is also possibly supported by the  coexistence of both PCs and Apple computers on the NURV compound
