It was at my office, which was on Emerson at that time. He said, 'Did I ever tell you about my broken nose?' And I said, "No." He said, well, he was in the school play yard, with kids his age. And a kid ran up and punched him in the nose and broke his nose. And he said, "I'm lying down. I'm bleeding. And I'm saying, 'What did you do that for?' And the kid goes, 'Whoops, wrong guy.'" He could have had that operated on. He kind of cringed at me and said, "Ooh, I'd never have anybody go inside my body." And of course, in a way that ultimately killed him. He was using magic medicine. He probably would still be around.
Working on my Apple oral history, I learned a lot of stuff that didn’t quite fit into the story. In particular, Regis McKenna shared moving memories of his friendship with Steve Jobs. Have you ever heard anything about Jobs having his nose broken—in a case of mistaken identity—when he was a kid?
