As such, Hooper now lives off of the 20% stake she kept after selling Black Umbrella, the "disaster preparedness business" that she and Andrew also once operated. "Honestly, despite my qualifications, every company that interviewed me politely told me that they could never put me in front of clients with a background connected to him," Hooper told People. ![]() Hooper struggled to find work in the aftermath of both the scandal and Andrew's death. But that all changed after the Ponzi scheme came to light.

That means that any of the exciting little stories embedded here (the early days of phone phreaking, the Home Brew Club, Apple's early days) I had already heard-and frequently in much more fascinating detail. ![]() This leads me to my second problem: although this book was published earlier, I read the Jobs autobiography first.

There is something to possibly be said about the fact that maybe Woz's life is a bit dull for this sort of thing. And I tried a new project for the science fair.), which I believe Woz still is, at heart. Every page reads like an excited little boy who just came home from school (And then I built this project.
