Computerworld - Many of the photos of Steve Jobs we've seen this week have been of him as he appeared during some of Apple's recent successes. But we wanted to take a longer view. Here are some images of Steve Jobs from over the past 35 years. (With thanks to the IDG News service and Steve Traynor, art director of IDG Enterprise, for their help.)
