It’s the 25th anniversary of the Apple Macintosh, but Steve Jobs’
eyes are
dry. At the company headquarters in Silicon Valley, where he was
presenting
a set of new laptops to the press last October, I mentioned the birthday
to
him. Jobs recoiled at any suggestion of nostalgia. “I don’t think
about
that,” he said. “When I got back here in 1997, I was looking for
more room,
and I found an archive of old Macs and other stuff. I said, ‘Get it
away!’
and I shipped all that sh1t off to Stanford. If you look backward in
this
business, you’ll be crushed. You have to look forward.”
