Steve
Jobs is a visionary to some while others he just was part of the vision for the personal computer and the products that are
so part of what Apple today like the iPad, iPhone, and iTunes. The lost interview features an uncut interview that was recorded
back in 1995 for a show for a show called Triumph of the Nerds for UK TV and Oregon PBS, and it was thought lost until its
rediscovery 17 years ago. The interview offers insights into the history of the personal computer and Apple from the point
of view form one of the most recognizable leaders of the tech world. This interview was recorded during the time when he was
exiled from Apple and running his own computer company (Next Computer which he later sold to Apple) before he would take control
of Apple 18 months later when it was at the point of bankruptcy. This is the complete interview which only part of it was
included for the final episode of Triumph of the Nerds.
