There is a documentary in which the narrator stands in front of a relatively small house and points to the garage. He says that in 197? Steve Jobs hired him to help him move Apple out of his garage. Jobs told him he’d pay him $2 per hour or alternatively, he would give him a share of Apple stock (maybe it was 10 shares). The narrator took the money. As he stood there, he stated that the Apple shares would now be worth millions of dollars, after considering the splits, dividends and growth in value.

I still think there could be a good TV series or about life here in the Valley.... There’s a lot of material dealing with the daily decisions and taking things to market...
Does that make me a nerd?

The first is the company's initial public offering proposal from 1977 was remarkably candid, admitting that co-founders Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs were "young and relatively in-experienced in the high volume consumer electronics business."

It also cited potential troubles with manufacturing and cash flow.

What's "remarkable" about candor in a government-required filing? Is the implication that they are crooks who normally lie?
