In a gift of charity, Steve Jobs sent $1300 in professional video software to a Greenwich High School student - who already personally owns over $5000 in high-end Mac hardware - because he asked nicely.
The student had written Jobs asking if there were a way a High School Student could take advantage of the half-off discount the company offers on it’s Final Cut Studio 2 software to college students.
Two weeks later, he got the full version of the software in a box from Cupertino.
In related news, the US government has donated $20B in cash to Citigroup.
Fun facts: Greenwich High School is the alma mater of Today’s Matt Lauer, Olympic Gold Medalist Dorothy Hamill, NFL Hall Of Famer Steve Young, and Pulitzer Prize winning author Truman Capote.
