Anything stand out for you in a "I didn't know that", funny, moving or interesting way. My have so far is from Job's discussion with Larry Ellison about buying Apple

Ellison "But if we don't buy Apple, how are we going to make any money out of it?"

Jobs: "Larry, this is why it's really important that I'm your friend. You don't need any more money"

Lol. Ellison only thinks in terms of yachts or aircraft.

There have been so many points that I've killed myself laughing.

The Zaltair bit was super funny. The bit with Jobs not giving Woz the bonus money from the Atari stuff sucked.

Nearly killed myself laughing with the guy who felt he had to pee on Job's office to get fired so he couldn't get sucked in.

I love that they had an award for standing up to Steve.

I love how Jobs had to be forced to shower.

There were several parts that really moved me as well. All in all I'm really enjoying it and I find I'm getting a lot out of it personally.
