Esther Dyson: My Ixperiences With Steve Jobs

Some personal recollections of former Apple CEO (damn, that feels weird to type) Steve Jobs, from Esther Dyson. She first met Jobs "in 1979 or 1980," at the Personal Computer Forum, a conference she later purchased and hosted.

For some reason, it was at the Playboy Resort in Lake Geneva that year (never again!). Regis McKenna, his PR agent then and for many years, set up the meeting. As I recall, the three of us sipped diet Cokes, served by a Playboy bunny. Even then, as a world traveler who had spent serious time in India, he had a better sense of the world outside educated, middle-class America than most techies.

At a later PC Forum, he could not attend or left early because he was being interviewed by Larry King. This was the mid-80s; the rivalry between him and almost everyone in the industry was bitter. He and Apple were considered arrogant loners; they didn’t play nicely with others. (And FWIW, yes, he had and has since been rude to me as well, when I failed to earn his approval for one reason or another.)

Nonetheless, a number of us gathered in a hotel suite to watch the show, and as he talked with Larry King, the mood in the room changed. Steve was no longer our competitor inside our market; he was one of us in a bigger, alien world, explaining our immature little industry and products to a much broader public than we could reach on our own. We cheered as he explained the effect personal computers could have on people’s lives in eloquent, simple terms, speaking for all of us

Techstuff's Take: Steve Jobs Resigns

By now, I assume you’ve heard the news. Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple, has stepped down from his role as CEO. Apple COO Tim Cook will assume the role of CEO and Jobs will become chairman. Jobs wrote a brief but heartfelt resignation letter addressed to Apple employees explaining that he feels he is no longer capable of fulfilling the duties of CEO. His departure from Apple marks the end of a truly remarkable career.

Steve Jobs preps for an early TV appearance (1978)

Posted by Mark Frauenfelder on Wednesday, Aug 24th at 8:47pm

[Video Link] I never knew he had stage fright. He's so nervous he asks where the bathroom is because he's "ready to throw up at any moment. I'm not joking."
