gl, thanks for the quote. It was indeed nicely done.
I rather like this picture of him. Humanizes him and brings him back down to Earth.
In *our* minds.
I have no doubts he was well grounded long before that picture was taken.
It does much to counter the typical disparaging comments made by people who think they know/knew Jobs without ever having met him.
That All Things D video was great, although the full length version was even better. (I could have done without Uncle Walty, though.) There were a lot more interesting quips, especially by Jobs. It shows how quick he is on his feet, so to speak.
One of my favorite parts is Bill Gates trying to tell the story about how some MS code ended up in a "special edition" Apple. After faltering for a few seconds, trying to start the story, Gates is interrupted by Jobs "Let me tell the story..."
That really cracked me up.
