No surprise, Steve Jobs always looked like Pigpen.

I had pong and thought it was a complete snoozer 😴
Felt bad since mom and dad paid so much but it was really really boring

I’ve read a pair of his pants, to this day, are in a broom closet airing out.

In the 90s, I worked with Acorn’s old partner at Video Professor. He was the brains behind Pong. I was always in awe of being in his presence. Ha ha!

Worked with people in the early ‘90s who said the same thing about Job.
Said Woz was much more fun to work with, actually helpful. Steve J smelled bad and had a temper.

Alcorn recalled of the man who would go on to found Apple Yeah. No one would know his name if it weren't for Woz.

I was in close proximity to Jobs once circa 1997. Didn’t notice this at that time. Generalizing from any specific anecdote doesn’t really work.

Ha! That made me think of how the Brits use the word “Pong”:
Definition of pong
pong
noun
an unpleasant smell. Australian, British, and New Zealand slang.
What’s that horrible pong?
Why is there such a pong in the toilet?

Another thing I found interesting...
When I was a Silicon Valley brat, my boss had, at a previous job, been VP of a board house that made Atari boards.
They were approached by a scraggly 21 year old kid to make some boards for a new computer, the Apple I.
A few things about that:
1) They were reticent to do it at first, because the design was pretty close to the design of the Atari they were making boards for. They finally decided to go ahead, as their were enough differences to make a case that it wasn't illegal.
2) My boss had to show Jobs how to fill out a check.
3) My boss DID NOT proceed with work on the Apple I boards until the check cleared.

Great story, especially about the guy’s wife. LOL

I didn’t need to be told this. I have eyes.
