But he dropped acid and went to an ashram in India so he was, like, cool, doncha know.
I personally don’t care about that - because whatever happened - I got the Apple products that I wanted. For me, as the consumer, it’s only what I have in my hand that I’m concerned about. I’m typing to you on my iPad now, which I ALWAYS have with me.
I remember reading that Jobs went to Reed College (in Portland, Oregon). I lived only half a mile from campus. Who knows, I might have passed him without knowing it.
I understand he dropped out, but he took some classes he was interested in. Calligraphy was one of them (I took calligraphy, too). He slept on the floor of some friends’ dorm rooms for a while.
Probably half my friends back then were back-packing around, going to Woodstock (I went to Vortex, the rock festival sponsored by the State of Oregon) and you-name-it.
Some of those people are whacked now, some are dead now and some are quite successful now.
It worked for Steve Jobs and I’m glad.
