Tim McNally was the FIRST correct answer to this week's TT contest.
He probably has an "App" to remind him each Tuesday...
the rest of you correct guessers need that "App" because you too were correct.....
but a tad bit late!!
Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak....founders of Apple Computer....were the correct answers.
Not great marketers though.....first Apple computer sold for $666.66.
Steve Wozniak...- Recently a contestant on "Dancing with the Rich Guys".
- Plays with Lego Robots.
- Crashed his airplane in 1981....deemed unqualified by the NTSB to have been piloting.
- Had amnesia after the accident...no recollection of the accident nor did he recognize that he had been in a crash....would walk into rooms and not remember why...could not recall what day it was....would go to work on Sunday...and take off on Wednesdays?
- Founded a company in 1987 that brought the first Universal Remote control to market.
- Dated "D-List" comedienne Kathy Griffin.
Steve Jobs....- Only class he enjoyed in college was Calligraphy...which is one of the reasons why you can change "fonts" on your computer.
- Due to his Pixar affiliation....he is the single largest shareholder (7%) of Disney stock.
- Has been sick over the last few years with cancer of the pancreas.
- Bloomberg mistakenly printed a 2500 word obituary in August 2008.
- Calls his LSD experimentation in his youth....one of the two or three most important things he has done in his life. (Note to self....2010 resolution!)
- Huge Beatles fan....and patterned the Apple Business Model on them....
Here is his thinking...Goo Goo Ga Joob!
"My model for business is The Beatles: They were four guys that kept each other's negative tendencies in check; they balanced each other. And the total was greater than the sum of the parts. Great things in business are not done by one person, they are done by a team of people." - Gives a pretty good speech......life's short....but give me 15 minutes!!
You'll be glad you did!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY LITTLE ASTRONAUT!!
CHA....CHA.....CHA!!!
