A couple pieces of Apple (and Steve Jobs) history have been released recently. The first is a video from the original (1984) introduction of the Apple Macintosh. God he looks so young. You can see the RDF (the famous Jobs' Reality Distortion Field) already at work.
The second is of Steve demonstrating NeXTSTEP 3.0. NeXTSTEP is the operating system developed by NeXT, the company Jobs founded between his first and second stints as head of Apple. When Jobs returned to Apple he had them purchase NeXT in order to lay the groundwork for what was to become OS X. Insiders like to joke that this acquisition amounted to a NeXT take over of Apple since the influence was so pervasive. It is amazing to see what NeXT had in 1992! They were so far ahead of the curve it is amazing.
A couple more early Apple/Jobs videos have been posted.
