How Do You Like Them Apples.

As everybody seems to be recounting their poignant anecdotes of Steve Jobs, I thought I would share one of my own:

When I was working as a cashier at the Borders in Palo Alto in 2005, Steve Jobs purchased Season 1 of Monk on DVD from me.

He paid in cash. And he did not want any coins back as change.

[He also bought something else from me another time but I forgot what it was. True story.]

I never would have pegged Mr. Jobs as a cash person. Or someone who buys things for himself. In a brick-and-mortar store. Particularly one that was backwards enough that it no longer exists.

Did you say"Monk"? I am surprised he would watch this type of a who done it series. Just shows you can never second guess a persons interest. I bet he watched "Matlock" too when he was younger and living at home. No doubt his parents got the blame, but he loved it just the same.
