Pirates of Silicon Valley Letter Summary
- The first letter consisted of a young 14 year old boy
letting Wozniak know of his idea to build an Apple 1 computer. Wozniak
says that building an Apple 1 is a noble idea but he should consider
building the Apple II since the Apple II was more revolutionary.
- The second email is from someone who praises Wozniak for
his moral integrity. Wozniak tells him that he agrees and is lucky to be
able to have a clear sense of what is important and what is not.
- The third email is form a critic of the author and asks
Wozniak why Steve Jobs seem so cruel to his daughter. Wozniak answers that
Steve Jobs was not especially cruel to his daughter but perhaps he was
cruel to the mother instead. Wozniak believes that Jobs was angry because
he felt as if he was not in control and did not have any say in the
matter.
