Jobs Movie

[SysAdmin]

Anyone going to see the Jobs movie tomorrow? I never understood Steve Jobs getting excited about black & white computers in the 1980s or killing the Newton. But I did respect what he did for the iPod, iPhone, iPad & Pixar. He made the world less boring. Too bad he passed on the Amiga and was not a fan. A Steve Jobs Amiga would have cost $100,000 anyway.

Bet Amiga or Commodore does not even get a mention in this film!

NeXT was okay but I never owned one since they cost $6,000. The first ones were greyscale, LOL. I'm glad the computer world has moved on from black & white and greyscale computers. I never understood the appeal.

You forgot to mention NeXT

I've never wanted or own a Mac... But I only have NeXTStep based machines in my house and in my pocket now

Yup, probably Steve Jobs greatest trick in the computer industry. Renaming the NeXT computer into the Mac. The Mac that old timers loved for some strange reason was dead and buried long ago.

I'm going to see this in about six hours. I'm not a Steve Jobs fan per say but I do respect what he was able to do in the 2000's. Without him everybody might be using Windows. I'll report back if it was any good. Hopefully Jon Cryer or Charlie Sheen makes a guest appearance in the movie.

Any idea why he  was not a fan?

Why Jobs was not a fan of Amiga?

I saw this movie yesterday and while I did enjoy it a lot sure was skipped. No iPhone, iPad, OS X and much more missing. Even the iPod only got a minute or two of screentime. A few too many black and white Macs for my liking. Those were the sh*tty ones, show the good stuff. I was surprised that the CBM Pet got a little screentime but of course as always the Amiga got screwed and not even a mention. These films love to pretend like the Amiga never even existed. Even Bill Gates got no airtime unless you count Jobs cussing him out over the phone. I don't like how the film suddenly just jumped ahead almost 10 years in the timeline skipping much. Anyone not already familiar with the Apple story would have got lost. Read this audiobook if you want the whole story. Don't expect the Amiga to get even a passing mention.

You know the more I learn about the real Steve Jobs and Bill gates the more I think Amiga had the coolest Dad! As proven in my latest Youitube vid
