My introduction to Steve Jobs began with the Apple Lisa, pictured above. It was an era of breaking through new frontiers and Apple succeeded where others failed.

Shows how idolatrous this generation has gotten. Their "gods" merely invent computers, and die at young ages.

You reap what you sew.
Very possibly God asked Steve Jobs the elevator question the moment after his demise.

My take on this is that you had two big computer companies, Apple and Microsoft. Then Clintoon ordered Reno’s justice department to go after one of them.
Guess which company came out on top?

The famous actor Robert Redford was walking one day through a hotel lobby. A woman saw him and followed him to the elevator.
“Are you the real Robert Redford?” she asked him with great excitement.
As the doors of the elevator closed, he replied, “Only when I am alone!”

Apparently Jobs had a habit of getting into elevators with employees of Apple. According to Apple folklore, Jobs would ask that employee "What do you do here" and if the employee did not have a satisfactory answer by the time the doors opened, that employee would be terminated.
I am not sure it happened exactly that way but obviously there is a grain of truth in this as Steve Jobs hated mediocre employees and was always trying to get rid of them.

Unless I've been introduced to the inquisitor prior, my response to questions like that are "who wants to know"?
