I wish that Bill Gates had my sense of humor.
Letter from Carmela
I loved the movie-very interesting and well done! After all that happened in the film, one thing I wonder is how do things stand today between you and Steve Jobs (and Bill Gates)? Also, I am curious about how the actors prepared for their roles behind-the-scenes (if you know…), what kind of research they did to try to make things accurate? Thanks. Carmela

I’m glad that you enjoyed the movie. I did also.
I talk to Steve occassionally and try not to feed reports of any conflict between us (there is none).
I wish that Bill Gates had my sense of humor. Do you remember when he got hit with some pies in Europe? After that, I sent him a picture of myself being hit by a pie at the pizza party after my college graduation in 1986. It was fun and we all laughed and the picture is captioned cleverly “Computer pie-in-ear”. I suggested to Bill that he have a pie thrower ready in the wings whenever he has a boring stage appearance, just for laughs.
The personalities and personality conflicts were portrayed quite accurately in the movie, even though a lot of the scenes didn’t happen or had different parties present or happened in different cities than shown or in different years. The actors deliberately didn’t talk to any of the principle parties. I guess that we would have spoiled it telling how great we all are and threatening lawsuits if they didn’t show it the way we said. So some legal problems might be avoided by not talking to us.
