before I read the new Steve jobs book I wanted to read about someone else in the tech industry, I read how Ted Turner was hard to work with though he was a genuius and did not find anything on Bill Gates, then Bad boy Ballmer just arrived on my desk so I had to read it, strange to see how you almost need to be bad to be successful
