Cerita-Cerita Steve Jobs Yang Tidak Terdapat Dalam Biografinya

Beberapa dari kalian pasti sudah membaca buku biografi Jobs karangan Walter Isaacson bukan? Ya, dalam buku itu Jobs banyak sekali menceritakan pengalaman dan kejadian-kejadian yang belum diketahui oleh banyak orang. Tapi, ternyata masih banyak lagi hal lainnya yang tidak tercantum dalam buku tersebut.

Hal ini dipublikasikan oleh edisi baru Forbes demi memperingati 1 tahun wafatnya sang inovator, 5 Oktober 2011 lalu. Forbes menuliskan kembali cerita-cerita lama dari para sahabat Jobs yang tidak terdapat dalam buku biografi milik Isaacson. Salah satu hal yang paling lucu adalah ketika Jobs dan Randy Adams (Engineers) menyembunyikan mobil mereka.

Adams, using some of the cash he’d earned from the sale of his company, bought a Porsche 911 at the same time Jobs did. To avoid car-door dings, they parked near each other–taking up three parking spaces between them. One day Jobs rushed over to Adams’ cubicle and told him they had to move the cars.

“I said, ‘Why?,’ and he said, ‘Randy, we have to hide the Porsches. Ross Perot is coming by and thinking of investing in the company, and we don’t want him to think we have a lot of money.’” They moved the cars around to the back of NeXT’s offices in Palo Alto, Calif. and Perot invested $20 million in the company in 1987 and took a seat on the board.
