Steve Jobs : 666 Apple Byte

Last night I watched a Netflix interview of  Steve Jobs, so I decided to investigate his wiki page to see what may be there:
Lisa Brennan-Jobs (May 17, 1978) Job's eldest 
Jobs began attending meetings of the Homebrew Computer Club with Wozniak in 1975.[47] In 1976, Wozniak invented the Apple I computer. After Wozniak showed it to Jobs, who suggested that they sell it, they and Ronald Wayne formed Apple Computer in the garage of Jobs's Los Altos home on Crist Drive.
  • Ronald Gerald Wayne (born May 17, 1934) 
  • William "Bill" Redington Hewlett (May 20, 1913 – January 12, 2001)  
  • Walter Isaacson (born May 20, 1952)[2] biographer
  • Bill Campbell, Jr. (August 31, 1940 – April 18, 2016)VP of Marketing and board director for Apple Inc.
  • Steven Paul "Steve" Jobs (February 24, 1955 – October 5, 2011) 

I had posted about him on two other occasions, in this blog and in my earlier Toumai Blog, note from my May 1, 2013 post, Kenneth Appel RIIP, Steve Jobs Appel and Adam's Appel (UPDATE)
 I had posted about him awhile ago and so I keyed in his name to my Toumai blog's search box, which brought me to my February 20, 2012 post entitled  Steve Jobs, Apple Inc: Synchro Deaths 2011, note these excerpts and amazing pattern-clusters:
  • The Apple I was priced at $666. (Wozniak later said he had no idea about the relation between the number and the mark of the beast, and "I came up with [it] because I like repeating digits." It was $500 plus a 1/3 markup, which is actually $666.67, rounding up to the nearest penny.)
  • Interesting to  note that the next company Jobs started up was called :NeXT Computers which ironically sold were released on the retail market in 1990, for $9,999.  Okay, so we move from 666 to 9999... and aren't 9's upside down 6's?!
  •  I also find it peculiar that two significant women in his life are named "Mona" and "Lisa": the daughter he once denied to be his named "Lisa" (see photo at right) and a sister he wasn't aware of until he was older, named "Mona".  Weird becomes weirder when in 1993, Mona Simpson married the television writer and producer Richard Appel (a writer for The Simpsons).  Sure smacks of inner twin infiltration.
  • The last thing that Steve said before he passed away, was "WOW, WOW, WOW".  Now that's interesting, Wow is Mom upside down!!
