Steve Jobs Slept in a Tent etc.

In my earlier blog entry here I mentioned that whilst Steve Wozniak discussed his new book iWoz he also made many references to Steve Jobs. A few of the things he said are paraphrased below.
Statement One: Steve Jobs chose his University based on the fact that one of the professors had been awarded a Nobel Peace Prize despite the fact that this was both expensive for his parents and miles away from home.
Statement Two: At Berkley Steve Jobs had a tent erected in his dorm room. When Steve Wozniak visited Jobs at university he noticed this and that Jobs had his girlfriend ‘living in’ with him.
Statement Three: Jobs would get enthusiastic about healthy food. The Woz stated that one time Jobs ‘banged’ on about some edible seeds.
Statement Four: Even back then Jobs was convincing. He was able, time and time again, to convince others to support Apple. With the supply of new chips, with information, etc. In other words he would ‘punch above his weight’ by making out that Apple was a bigger and more successful organisation than it was at the time.
