Steve Jobs is one of the co-founders of Apple Computer, and arguably, along with Bill Gates, one of the most influential Amercians of the past 50 years. He and some friends built their first computer in a garage in California when they were teenagers. Nobody was interested in their invention, so they started their own company and made millions. His friends lost interest and took the money and ran, but Steve Jobs has never lost the fire. The "i phone" is his latest invention. He's such an interesting person, I'll be using his quotes about business and life for the next few days.
"So we went to Atari and said, 'Hey, we've got this amazing thing, even built with some of your parts, and what do you think about funding us? Or we'll give it to you. We just want to do it. Pay our salary, we'll come work for you.' And they said no. So then we went to Hewlett-Packard, and they said, 'Hey, we don't need you, you haven't got through college yet."
