<i>"But looks like the penny pinchers who later kicked him out of Apple probably made Steve use these black and white business card instead?"</i><p>Um, I'd get a little more Apple history under your belt before writing the commentary next time.<p><i>"I wonder who will answer that phone number?"</i><p>Since it's still the same number 30 years later, I'd guess Apple would. It's Apple's switchboard.

<i>"back in the days when typography is rare (the Mac,which popularized desktop publishing, has not been released yet)"</i><p>There was plenty of great typography back then. The difference was that you had to pay a professional to do it for you.

That man was a founder of a successful tech company before I was born. Somehow, being reminded of that makes me hesitant to perform any future acts of technical punditry, specially when arguing against his judgment.

<i>Why this site name?<p>Obama has a Mac, and his Mac has a Pacman on it. Originally OP is going to be a site on both Apple / Obama news, but there are just so many interesting Apple stories so we scrapped the non-Apple part.<p>PS. Thinking of changing site name. So if you have any ideas, please contact us.</i><p><a href="http://obamapacman.com/2010/07/pacman-birthday-cupcake-obamapacman-com-turns-1/" rel="nofollow">http://obamapacman.com/2010/07/pacman-birthday-cupcake-obama...</a>

I love that he's a "vice president of new product development." A good way to make a company look bigger.

The number still goes to Apple. Put me through to an Apple operator. Seems like an internal number maybe?

408-996-1010 is the corporate switchboard for the past 30 years. Buildings around Bandley Drive used to be warehouses. My old boss at Apple told me back in the day if you wanted a job you just showed up at the door ready to work. A few weeks later if you lasted you're hired.

I wonder if I'll go from being called "Steven" to "Steve" when I'm a billionaire. I would think that having that much money would make you want to use your formal name more.
