The Correspondence of Steve Jobs, Prior to 2010

Interesting post over at Technologizer, analyzing many emails Steve replied to before 2010. Let me quote just one from the collection:

“Mr. Jobs,

I was first in line for this phone. I paid a premium. The screen broke from a short drop. $250 dollars?

I have sold at least 3 of these things for you. I feel dirty.”


Steve’s reply:


“Imagine this for a car:

I was first in line for this car. I paid a premium. Then I crashed it. $2500.

I have sold at least 3 of these cars for you. I feel dirty.

Sent from my iPhone”

Someone should write a book about these mails.
