About this Book

Computer geniuses who've "made it big" are the ultimate heroes for many kids. These young millionaires in the high-tech and business worlds are big news today, but like all inventors before them, their work is based on the work of their predecessors.

A "child of the 60s", Steve Jobs traveled around the globe in an attempt to find himself. He was a vegetarian, an environmentalist, and -- strangest of all -- is one of the most successful businessmen that the world has ever known. The story of how Jobs used his technical background to develop Apple Computer is a fascinating one -- even more so considering his abrupt departure from the company and later triumphant return as company savior.
