1. Introduction
I demurred.
extol his new Macintosh.
whatever he was touting was the best thing ...
cyanide-laced apple
His persistence baffled me.
abandoned, or otherwise infuriated
And indeed he did turn out to be skittish when word trickled back to him of people that I was interviewing.
2. Childhood
he and his wife owned a mink farm and dabbled successfully in various other businesses
his salt-of-the-earth wife
embarked on a dreamy and peripatetic life
He would later bristle whenever anyone referred to Pual and clara Jobs as his "adoptive" parents or implied that they were not his "real" parents.
That's not harsh, it's just the way it was, a sperm bank thing, nothing more.
he caressed the stockade panels
After work each day, he would change into his dungarees and retreat to the garage
We'd be looking for a generator, a carburetor
He was proud that his father never adopted a servile attitude or slick style that may have made him a better salesman.
He was a single guy, beatnik type.
other spindly-tree subdivisions across America
even the ne'er-do-wells tended to be engineers
The film was dropped in canisters
launched ballistic missiles
but I'm not sure if I ever got spanked
His parents were barely making ends meet, but by this point there was little double that they would eventually bend to his will.
people would haggle for switches, ...
Jobs began smoking marijuana
would become part of Silicon Valley lore
His aversion to authority was something he no longer tried to hide
