    Even if we live in the darkest timeline, at least we still have this Steve!

      It’s the best Steve. Maybe he wouldn’t have founded a global brand is e Jobs didn’t do his job.

      But he’d still be an awesome nerd Lord

        I was also referring to Steve Irwin, but yes; Jobs. Jobs was the face of capitalism whereas Woz was the brains & heart of what could & should’ve been.

            Doctor Robby/ the head librarian plays Jobs, IIRC

            And I vaguely remember Bill Gates stealing the idea for “the mouse” hardware device from a dumpster (which I believe is close to how it really happened)

            I remember watching that when it aired on cable TV back in the day, and it was one of those movies where you tried to remember the name for years (pre-imdb) and then you find it again because it somehow became a cult classic (even though I’m pretty sure it never went to print)

            Anyway, I do have a copy. Been a while since I watched it, tho

              Lol I guess I’m just too old lol. Noah Wylie is the actors name. He gained fame from the tv show ER. His DR Robbie character reminds me a lot.of the dr Greene character who was played by Anthony Edwards who also played Goose in the original Top Gun movie.

              Also ER made George Clooney even more popular than he was
