(according to Rush Limbaugh, people never change)

You know, I can't say whether the background story in later years gets any worse than that.
There was "the blue box incident" also.

But I'm sure Steve Jobs would say something like...you know...I don't give a fuck what other people think.
It's what I do that matters to me.

Okay, a touch sensitive computer keyboard that automatically provides emotional emphases to words as you type or convert to text from speech. The harder the keys are hit within a word or the more dramatically a word is spoken, the darker the text, or the larger the font size, or adds conventional emphasis, italics, bold, etc.

And a font system for text files and the Net that would allow musical scales to be implied in text, such as typing lyrics in which each word is placed at a position of a musical note within a scale, and the ability to type musical notes in a scale in a text file or in a forum reply, with italics, etc.

Installing photo composite equipment at Disneyland, the kind that the police use to "advance the age" of the photos of missing children, but in reverse so that the composite picture makes you and your loved ones "young again", or "ages your child" to adult status.

I can't keep this up, but I'm sure there are other Jobs out there.

Steve Jobs was a catalyst.

No, but he was a good listener with deep pockets.

Heh - - I suspect he rarely limited himself to just listening.

I heard he is walking again.

The inimitable Charlie Rose interviews people such as Eric Schmidt on his Friday tribute to Steve Jobs.

(Plus, here's his classic 1996 interview with Jobs himself and John Lasseter.)

No, it was probably something more like smoke a 'J', then go shopping at Best Buy, or hang out for a week or two in Sun Valley, Ca, staying at the local "no-name" Edison house while eavesdropping on the neighbors of a nearby apartment complex while passing for "bro".

While there, have all former police records for a previous alias wiped from the books. Call the Gov. to facilitate the action and seal the records. Pick up the phone to remind Woz that his police records under his former alias are "still active".

Pick up the phone, call R&D to draft their version of a design which was discovered while on a buzz at Best Buy, or the plans of which were overheard while visiting said apartment complex, and have them ship the blueprints to Woz.

Have Woz ship the blueprints to China as a Secretary in the Service of Mr. Steve Jobs.
Wait for FedEx while munching on Chapati alongside a discreet joint. Answer the door while maintaining. Open shipment. Try gadget while wearing a pair of gloves.

Mark the gadget with a day-glo highlight marker. Ship it back to China with instructions to follow the markings.

Wait for FedEx while munching on more Chapati with a covert side of Beef with flaming hot taco seasonings, but only when no one is looking.
