I wish Forstall would do a long form oral history with the Computer History Museum (usually around 2-3 hours) even if there was that shorter interview on stage there in 2017. He has a gift for storytelling.

Totally agree. The one with Jon Rubinstein [0] was illuminating in a way none of the biographies have been.

Also if you want to learn about the NeXT days (which live on in many ways!) check out the ones with Blaine Garst and Steve Naroff.

Just watched the Computer History Museum interview with Scott Forstall: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjR2vegUBAo

Scott gives an incredible story about how Steve Jobs saved his life was really moving.

I thought that was a bizarre moment of the interview, where he defended acupuncture and Steve Jobs bringing a practitioner of his choosing to Stanford Hospital to intervene. Jobs was the last person one should've looked to for medical advice, but maybe I'm only saying this with the benefit of hindsight.

Well it is also worth considering they had tried everything in ( the time ) modern science and medicine and it obviously wasn't working.
