It's a beautiful story. Cook, Laurene and whoever else with concerns having nothing to worry about. Sorkin himself has said he likes writing redemption stories. And frankly I'm glad Sorkin avoided telling a Forrest Gump-like picaresque tale. The father-daughter dynamic is what intrigued me the most about Isaacson's otherwise subpar book.
My girlfriend knows almost nothing about Steve Jobs but she was moved to tears at the ending and has a respect for him that goes beyond the computers he's helped made.
I know this is a little old but really Jobs owes this guy a lot.
If Jobs had stuck around and IBM proceeded to beat them into Oblivion (Which it would have) then there wouldn't have been this image that the company went wrong because it lost this guy.
A lot of people saw him as the Savior of Apple and they yet those people were often too young to appreciate what Apple had done 20 years before his return.
Basically the guys image and Apple's future success hinged very much on the fact that he wasn't there when the company failed and he never would have been looking to build an OS Replacement had he never left. It literally was the perfect storm and Jobs came out of it nicely.
Of course I should note that he wasn't broke when he was running NeXT either because he was pretty much the sole owner of Pixar at the time as the people involved kept having to borrow money from the guy and they kept giving him more and more of their company in exchange.
