In 1976 Jobs co-founded Apple Computer and within a few years was worth one hundred million dollars. In 1984 he was showing off his new pride and joy, the Macintosh. “And this has turned out insanely great.” As critics hailed the Mac, Jobs was on the losing end of a power struggle at his company and left Apple a year later.
