I dont get what the problem is. 13 Brennan however notes that she felt so ashamed: the thought of my growing belly in the professional environment at Apple, with the child being his, while he was unpredictable, in turn being punishing and sentimentally ridiculous. I could not have endured it. 13Brennan thus turned down the internship and decided to leave Apple. She states that Jobs told her If you give up this baby for adoption, you will be sorry and I am never going to help you. 13 Now alone, Brennan was on welfare and cleaning houses to earn money. She would sometimes ask Jobs for money but he always refused. Brennan hid her pregnancy for as long as she could, living in a variety of homes and continuing her work with Zen meditation. At the same time, according to Brennan, Jobs started to seed people with the notion that I slept around and he was infertile, which meant that this could not be his child. A few weeks before she was due, Brennan was invited to have her baby at the All One Farm in Oregon and Brennan accepted the offer. 13 When Jobs was 23 (the same age as his biological parents when they had him) 2 Brennan gave birth to her baby, Lisa Brennan on May 17, 1978. 13 49Dear Mike, This mornings papers carried suggestions that Apple is considering removing me as chairman. I dont know the source of these reports, but they are both misleading to the public and unfair to me. You will recall that at last Thursdays Board meeting I stated I had decided to start a new venture, and I tendered my resignation as chairman. The Board declined to accept my resignation and asked me to defer it for a week. I agreed to do so in light of the encouragement the Board offered with regard to the proposed new venture and the indications that Apple would invest in it. On Friday, after I told John Sculley who would be joining me, he confirmed Apples willingness to discuss areas of possible collaboration between Apple and my new venture. Subsequently the Company appears to be adopting a hostile posture toward me and the new venture. Accordingly, I must insist upon the immediate acceptance of my resignation. I would hope that in any statement it feels it must issue, the Company will make it clear that the decision to resign as chairman was mine. I find myself both saddened and perplexed by the managements conduct in this matter which seems to me contrary to Apples best interests. Those interests remain a matter of deep concern to me, both because of my past association with Apple and the substantial investment I retain in it. I continue to hope that calmer voices within the Company may yet be heard. Some Company representatives have said they fear I will use proprietary Apple technology in my new venture. There is no basis for any such concern. If that concern is the real source of Apples hostility to the venture, I can allay it. As you know, the companys recent re-organization left me with no work to do and no access even to regular management reports. I am but 30 and want still to contribute and achieve. After what we have accomplished together, I would wish our parting to be both amicable and dignified. Yours sincerely, Steven P. Jobs.Jobs went there for the birth after he was contacted by Robert Friedland, their mutual friend and owner of the All One Farm. While distant, Jobs worked with her on a name for the baby, which they discussed sitting in the fields on a blanket. Brennan suggested the name Lisa which Jobs also liked and notes that Jobs was very attached to the name Lisa while he was also publicly denying paternity. She would discover later that during this time, Jobs was preparing to unveil a new kind of computer that he wanted to give a female name (his first choice was Claire after St. Clare). She also states that she never gave him permission to use the babys name for a computer and he hid the plans from her. Jobs also worked with his team to come up with the phrase, Local Integrated Software Architecture as an alternative explanation for the Apple Lisa 50 (decades later, however, Jobs admitted to his biographer Walter Isaacson that obviously, it was named for my daughter 51 ). Brennan would come under intense criticism from Jobs who claimed that she doesnt want money, she just wants me. According to Brennan, Apples Mike Scott wanted Jobs to give her money, while other Apple executives advised him to ignore me or fight if I tried to go after a paternity settlement. 13When Jobs denied paternity a DNA test was given that established him as Lisas father. It required him to give Brennan 385 a month in addition to returning the money she had received from welfare. Jobs gave her 500 a month at the time when Apple went public, and Jobs became a millionaire. Brennan worked as a waitress in Palo Alto. Later, Brennan agreed to give an interview with Michael Moritz for Time magazine for its Time Person of the Year special, released on January 3, 1983, in which she discussed her relationship with Jobs. Rather than name Jobs the Person of the Year, the magazine named the computer the Machine of the Year. 52 In the issue, Jobs questioned the reliability of the paternity test (which stated that the probability of paternity for Jobs, Steven... is 94.1). 53 Jobs responded by arguing that 28 of the male population of the United States could be the father. 13 53 Time also noted that the baby girl and the machine on which Apple has placed so much hope for the future share the same name: Lisa. 53Jobs was worth a million dollars when he was 23 (1978), 10 million when he was 24, and over 100 million when he was 25. He was also one of the youngest people ever to make the Forbes list of the nations richest people and one of only a handful to have done it themselves, without inherited wealth. 7In 1978, Apple recruited Mike Scott from National Semiconductor to serve as CEO for what turned out to be several turbulent years. In 1983, Jobs lured John Sculley away from Pepsi-Cola to serve as Apples CEO, asking, Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water, or do you want a chance to change the world 54In 1982, Jobs bought an apartment in the two top floors of The San Remo, a Manhattan building with a politically progressive reputation. Although he never lived there, 55 he spent years renovating it with the help of I. M. Pei.
