Steve Jobs Page #4
STEVE:
Those are the forecasts.
JOANNA:
--because this is my field. I am
begging you to manage expectations
out there.
STEVE:
I’m fanning (expectations).
JOANNA:
(over)
We’re not gonna sell a million in
the first 90 days.
STEVE:
Everyone, everyone, everyone.
Everyone is waiting for the Mac.
JOANNA:
Maybe, but what happens when they
find out that for twenty-four
ninety-five there’s nothing you can
do with it?
STEVE stares at her...
JOANNA (CONT’D)
(pause)
We were competitive at 1500 but
once you replaced the Motorola 6809
with the 68000-
STEVE:
--which is what supports menus,
windows, point and click, high res
graphics-
JOANNA:
Yeah, ‘cause everyone needs
rectangles with rounded corners.
STEVE:
Coach lands on the runway at the
exact same time as first class.
JOANNA:

JOANNA:
Which is the price point on the PC

STEVE:

shirt I point to the spot, I don’t
say there’s a spot 14 centimeters
down from the collar and 3
centimeters to the right of the
remember what the command is for
club soda, that’s not how a
person’s mind works.
JOANNA:
If the goal was ease of use, maybe
you should’ve given it some memory.
STEVE:
You can complain about memory or
you can complain about price but
you can’t do both at the same time.
Memory is what costs money. And I’m
glad you’re telling me your
feelings about the Mac now because
we have a half-hour left, we can
redesign it.
JOANNA:
I’m just asking you to (manage
expectations).
STEVE:
(over)
Look at their faces when they see
what it is. They won’t know what
they’re looking at or why they like
it but they’ll know they want it.
JOANNA:
Not instantly. When people heard
“Rite of Spring” they tore the
chairs out of the theater, they

“Rite of Spring” happens to be the
most revolutionary and provocative

STEVE:
It was 1913, there weren’t--I don’t
know why we’re talking about
Stravinsky when-
(holding up Time)
--I’ve been properly sodomized by
Dan Kottke in Time magazine.
JOANNA:
Look, obviously--let me say this-obviously
Daniel didn’t think he
