Young Steve Jobs Was "More Peculiar" Than He Is Now

Business Insider has an interview with Apple's very first CEO.  And, no it wasn't Steve Jobs.

It was Michael Scott who was brought in by Jobs and Steve Wozniak when they founded the company in 1976.

BI asked Scott if Jobs was as peculiar then as he is now:

No, he was maybe more particular. The Apple II case came, it had a beige and a green, so for all the standard colors of beige available in the world, of which there are thousands, none was exactly proper for him. So we actually had to create "Apple beige" and get that registered.

I stayed out of it but for weeks, maybe almost six weeks, the original Apple II case, Jobs wanted a rounded edge on it so it didn't have a hard feel. They spent weeks and weeks arguing exactly how rounded it would be. So that attention to detail is what Steve is known for, but it also is his weakness because he pays attention to the detail of the product, but not to the people.
