Steve Jobs has been responding to emails from fans.
From the NY Times:
John Devor printed out his personal Jobsian missive and taped it to the wall of his dorm room at the University of Virginia. The 23-year-old entrepreneur had written Mr. Jobs to praise him, but also to complain about how Apple’s lawyers were demanding that he change the name of his music-copying program, iPodRip.
“Change your apps name. Not that big of a deal. Steve,” Mr. Jobs wrote.
“I was stunned. I think I was shaking,” Mr. Devor recalled of the moment the e-mail message appeared in his in-box. A few weeks later, he reflected more calmly about the reply. “I kind of pictured him writing that while he was going to the bathroom or something,” Mr. Devor said.
Jobs may not keep them around for very long, but his rotating cast of lawyers has trained him well.
