Steve Jobs Presentation
In a speech Jobs gave at Stanford University in 2005, he said
being fired from Apple was the best thing that could have
happened to him; "The heaviness of being successful was
replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure
about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative
periods of my life." And he added, "I'm pretty sure none of this
would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was
awfultasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it.,,
NeXT workstations were first released in 1990. The revised,
secondgeneration NeXT cube was released in 1990, also. In
1996, Apple announced that it would buy NeXT. The deal was
finalized in late 1996, bringing Jobs back to the company he co
founded. In August 2011, Jobs resigned as CEO of Apple, but
remained with the company as chairman of the company's board.
Jobs died at his California home around 3 p.m. on October 5,
