A GOD?
Oh, please give me a break.
Question: Is the name of his birth mother public knowledge anywhere?
Shows how idolatrous this generation has gotten. Their "gods" merely invent computers, and die at young ages.

He was a man who happened to invent Apple.
God is alive. Steve Jobs is dead.
Very possibly God asked Steve Jobs the elevator question the moment after his demise.
“...the elevator question...”

Never heard of it, what is that?
Yes. Joanne Carole Schieble (later Simpson)

My take on this is that you had two big computer companies, Apple and Microsoft. Then Clintoon ordered Reno’s justice department to go after one of them.
Guess which company came out on top?
Amen
“Ookie”
>Obscure?
The famous actor Robert Redford was walking one day through a hotel lobby. A woman saw him and followed him to the elevator.
“Are you the real Robert Redford?” she asked him with great excitement.
As the doors of the elevator closed, he replied, “Only when I am alone!”
I am not sure it happened exactly that way but obviously there is a grain of truth in this as Steve Jobs hated mediocre employees and was always trying to get rid of them.
According to Apple folklore, Jobs would ask that employee "What do you do here"Unless I've been introduced to the inquisitor prior, my response to questions like that are "who wants to know"?
