... their California guys had developed.
1:02:05
I tell you, it was making their people
absolutely nuts.

1:02:09
Oh, God.
1:02:15
Let's go.
1:02:18
You know, I felt like
one of the Mongol hordes...

1:02:20
... coming to loot and plunder
a bunch of defenseless villagers.

1:02:26
No, no. This is insane.
1:02:29
We'd just be handing him everything.
1:02:31
We created the mouse and all the rest of it,
and now these idiots in New York...

1:02:37
...want to show it all to Steve Jobs.
1:02:39
I won't do it.
1:02:40
Hi. I'm Steve Jobs.
1:02:46
I need you to answer some other questions
about the stuff you've invented.

1:02:50
The graphic interface?
1:02:54
It's not going to hurt.
1:02:57
That's what you think.
1:03:00
- What do you want to know?
- How does it...?

1:03:03
What is your base length?
Is it integer, or is it compound?

1:03:06
Does your operating system
convert to executable codes?

1:03:08
- I got it. I got it, Steve-O. I got it, Steve-O.
- What is the middle...?

1:03:17
It's pretty neat, right?
1:03:20
Click, you're there.
1:03:23
Click, you're somewhere else.
1:03:25
This graphic interface stuff was like
a miracle back then, and we got it.

1:03:29
Steve got it, from Xerox, who just
turned it all over for us to fool with.

1:03:33
Like rich people giving junky old stuff
to the Salvation Army...

1:03:37
...only the junk turns out
to be a Rembrandt.

1:03:41
About $ 100 billion head start
on everyone else.

1:03:44
Apple was making tons of money.
It was great.

1:03:48
And of course, I sort of lost my mind.
I mean, it was all fun and games.

1:03:53
I started buying really expensive toys.
1:03:57
It was me with my own plane.
