REBROADCAST: The Founding Of Apple In 7 Minutes

Offbeat Wall Street

This week, we're taking a break from our normal format to bring you an episode we first broadcast in the middle of last year. Usually, we take a look at what's going on in the markets and look ahead at what to expect in the near future. This week, we're going to look back - way back. Last year marked the 40th anniversery of the founding of Apple Computer. We're going to take a little time to tell that story - 7 minutes to be precise. We'll look at how Steve Jobs went from being a wunderkind to the greatest icon in the history of tech to a guy universally acknowledged as one of the biggest jerks in modern business history. And of course, eventually back again to icon. But today, we're just telling the first part of the story.
