Jobs said the company must ship their advanced technology product
(technology unspecified) at $3,000 by Spring 1987. The former is
the price that excites universities; Jobs said the purchasing
window for universities is during the summer, once per year,
and if they miss Summer 1987 they lose a year and lose credibility.
Jobs spent $7 million for 70% of stock, and the company was spending
that money faster than budgeted (sounds like a lot of ex-Apple
employees who went from a Fortune 500 company to a startup).
On the technology, monochrome was implied, and the buzzwords "C shell"
and "Smalltalk" were used.
