I also think it's interesting that with Jobs and Woz's offices being across the building from each other, that forces them to walk past everyone else to talk to each other in person. That has to make it easier for founders and executives to keep track of how things are going in the trenches. That could also make employees feel that management doesn't consider themselves "above" them.

#42My grandparents had an Advent when I was a kid. That thing probably spat out more radiation than I ever would care to research. It was a beautiful beast though and could heat a room.
Youngen here: Might I ask what an Advent is? It's a hard thing to Google.
An Advent was a three tube projection system. It had a triangular arrangement of the CRT's, one red, one green, one blue. You had to focus and align them yourself, but with a good screen you could get a pretty good looking 60" television. It required a dark room.
Since it sat in the middle of the floor, it was subject to kids bumping into it (in my grandparents home anyhow) and also then subject to grandfathers shouting.
He later replaced it with a front projection set that bounced the CRT projectors off a mirror onto a screen. It was a beast.
