I read the caption before I saw the photo:

STEVE JOBS AT HOME IN 1982—"This was a very typical time. I was single. All you needed was a cup of tea, a light, and your stereo, you know, and that's what I had." —Steve Jobs

(The photo and caption are from Diana Walker: The Bigger Picture. (buy))

I pictured a slightly scruffy Jobs on a beat-up couch with a cup of tea, a lamp, and a boom box. But the picture tells a different story: there is no furniture, and the room, the lamp, and the stereo are all lovely. There isn't much, but what's there is wonderful stuff. It speaks to Apple's values of minimalism and quality.

(And I get a kick out of the collection of vinyl records. This was back in the dark ages before CDs. It's crazy to see the man who brought digital music to the masses with the last analog mass media. (Well, unless you count VHS...))
