marketing director for Apple and got a contract representing Apple at the MTV Beach House on Long Island in 1994 Thus, Apple has been interwoven in my life in so many ways and I mark a lot of events in my life in terms of highs and lows with Apple I remember as though yesterday the misfire of Sculley s leadership and the almost terminal stewardship of Gil Amelio Of course, Steve s return will

it The book was originally written in the mid 80 s and an Epilogue added a few years ago The title is almost a total misnomer It is not a biography of Steve Jobs, it is mostly about Apple s early life until the sacking of Jobs It deals little or nothing with how it changed the world The epilogue, of about 20 pages, vaguely tracks the interim without Jobs, and the return of Jobs and his impact in a cursory way I was given the book a I enjoyed the book but I was genuinely disappointed with it The book was originally written in the mid 80 s and an Epilogue added a few years ago The title is almost
