An anecdote about Jobs from Eugene McDonnell.
http://www.jsoftware.com/papers/eem/anecdotes.htm

After a satisfying Thanksgiving dinner Eugene and his family 
went for a walk around the neighborhood. As they passed by 
the Jobs residence Eugene caught a glimpse through a window 
of people enjoying dinner around a table. But Steven Jobs 
can be seen in another room, tapping at a computer. 
Eugene thought to himself, “Isn’t that too bad! 
Can’t even enjoy a Thanksgiving dinner.”

The following week came the Pixar IPO, which sold 6.9 million 
shares at $22/share. Steven Jobs’ 80% holding of Pixar stock 
was valued at $1.1 billion after the IPO.
