Computer History Museum Presents Online Steve Jobs Exhibition

The Computer History Museum presents “Steve Jobs: From Garage to World’s Most Valuable Company,” featuring photos and descriptions of objects from the museum’s permanent collection, as well as vintage Steve Jobs video footage.

The exhibit details Jobs’s life from building ‘Blue Boxes’ with partner Steve Wozniak,devices that allowed its user to make free telephone calls,to head of the world’s biggest company.
