  Mr. Jobs name does not, to the best of my knowledge, appear on any
lists of persons who have donated $1 million or more to charitable
organizations.  He is not known for being a philanthropist, offering
his excess wealth to those in greater need than he.  If he does donate
substantial amounts, he keeps it a secret, which would be quite
uncharacteristic for wealthy persons to do.  He is, and I do not mean
to sound unkind here, best known for being a charismatic huckster.

  He does contribute to politicians, mostly Democrats, but does so
under the name of his wife.  He once considered the possibility of
running for Governor of California, but did not do so.
