The fun and profits came to an end at a Sunnyvale pizza parlor. Jobs and Wozniak were about to drive to Berkeley with a Blue Box they had just finished making. Jobs needed money and was eager to sell, so he pitched the device to some guys at the next table. They were interested, so Jobs went to a phone booth and demonstrated it with a call to Chicago. The prospects said they had to go to their car for money. "So we walk over to the car, Woz and me, and I've got the Blue Box in my hand, and the guy gets in, reaches under the seat, and he pulls out a gun," Jobs recounted. He had never been that close to a gun, and he was terrified. "So he's pointing the gun right at my stomach, and he says, 'Hand it over, brother.' My mind raced. There was the car door here, and I thought maybe I could slam it on his legs and we could run, but there was this high probability that he would shoot me. So I slowly handed it to him, very carefully." It was a weird sort of robbery. The guy who took the Blue Box actually gave Jobs a phone number and said he would try to pay for it if it worked. When Jobs later called the number, the guy said he couldn't figure out how to use it. So Jobs, in his felicitous way, convinced the guy to meet him and Wozniak at a public place. But they ended up deciding not to have another encounter with the gunman, even on the off chance they could get their $150.
這樣的快樂和利潤在森尼韋爾的一家比薩店里結(jié)束了。喬布斯和沃茲尼亞克正準(zhǔn)備帶著剛做完的一臺藍(lán)盒子開車去伯克利。喬布斯需要用錢,急需出售這臺機(jī)器,所以他就向鄰桌的幾個人推銷。那幫人很感興趣,喬布斯就走到電話亭,往芝加哥打了一個電話做演示。他們說要到車?yán)锶ツ缅X。“于是沃茲和我就走向那輛車,我手上拿著藍(lán)盒子,那家伙走進(jìn)車?yán)?,手伸到座位底下,拔出了一把槍?!眴滩妓够貞浀馈K麖臎]有如此靠近過一把槍,被嚇壞了?!八脴屩钢业亩亲诱f:‘把它拿過來,兄弟。’我的神經(jīng)一下子繃緊了。車門就在那兒,我想是不是可以猛關(guān)上車門砸他的腿,然后我們趁機(jī)逃跑,但很有可能他會朝我們開槍。所以我慢慢地、非常小心地把藍(lán)盒子遞給了他?!边@種搶劫真的太奇怪了。搶走藍(lán)盒子的家伙給了喬布斯一個電話號碼,說如果藍(lán)盒子有用的話,以后會想辦法把錢付給他。當(dāng)喬布斯照著號碼打過去的時候,還真的找到了那個家伙,他不會用藍(lán)盒子。喬布斯巧妙地說服此人在一個公共場合跟他和沃茲見面。但最終他們還是膽怯了,決定再也不跟那個持槍的男人打交道,即便那樣做有可能拿回那150美元。
