<<Still I love that while Jobs was depicted as a tyrant, at least he was remaining on the cutting edge....>> I think it was a little too subtle as to why he was that way. 1) Not knowing who his REAL mother was and hiring a private investigator to find her. 2) Expressing his rage to shrink, but not knowing where his anger is derived from. 3) Escape into drugs and metaphysics to find meaning in his life. 4) Outwardly rejecting Lisa as his daughter, yet naming a computer after her. 5) Referring the warring Apple (Mac vs. Apple II) as one big "family". 6) Trying to accept Bill Gates as part of his "family". 7) Finally accepting that he does have a real family and accepting Lisa as part of it. In the end he has finally come home to Apple and has achieved happiness with his true family (Lisa and other daughters). He smiles despite Gates looming over him. Which would you rather have? Happiness and meaning with your loved ones or 90 Billion dollars? I think he has made his great personal achievement and Apple could fade away> It would have an afect on him, but it would be no big deal. I think the public just saw that Gates won the OS wars. They did not see that Jobs won the war within himself. -Bill_H
