Ondrej Holzman Lapho uSteve Jobs ekunikeza iPorsche eneminyaka engamashumi amabili nantathu, uyazi ukuthi uzoba nempilo enhle. Yileso kanye isiphetho esehlele uCraig Elliott, umsunguli kanye ne-CEO yePertino, isiqalo esisha saseSilicon Valley esizongena emakethe.
Indaba yonke yaqala ngo-1984, lapho u-Elliott ethatha unyaka ekolishi futhi ehlala e-Iowa. “Ngagcina esitolo samakhompyutha yangakithi kwaba unyaka iMacintosh eyaphuma ngawo. Ngaleso sikhathi, ngangithengisa ama-Macintoshe amaningi kunanoma ubani omunye e-United States yonke.” U-Elliott oneminyaka engu-52 ubudala uyakhumbula namuhla.
Ngenxa yalokhu, wathola isimemo esivela ku-Apple esiya eCupertino. “Ngadla isidlo sakusihlwa noSteve Jobs, ngachitha isonto nabaphathi abaphezulu bakwa-Apple, uSteve wanginika iPorsche,” U-Elliott uyalandisa, evuma ukuthi isidlo sakusihlwa no-Apple co-founder sicishe saphela ngenhlekelele. Imisebenzi yambuza ukuthi mangaki amaMac awadayisile ngempela. Impendulo yayiwukuthi: cishe 125.
"Imisebenzi ngaleso sikhathi yamemeza 'O Nkulunkulu wami! Ilokho kuphela? Kuyadabukisa lokho!'" U-Elliott uchaza ukuthi isidlo sakhe esikhulu sakusihlwa sahamba kanjani. "Ngancika ngathi, 'Steve, ungakhohlwa ukuthi ngiyindoda yakho engcono kakhulu.' NoJobe waphendula, 'Yebo, uqinisile.' Esinye isidlo sakusihlwa senzeke endaweni ekhululekile."
Ngokuka-Elliott, yilokho kanye uSteve Jobs ayeyikho - wayenentshisekelo enkulu, kodwa lapho umsunduza, wehla. Imisebenzi yabuye yanika u-Elliott umsebenzi, kodwa wayengeyena umphathi wakhe isikhathi eside, njengoba axoshwa ku-Apple ngemva konyaka. Noma kunjalo, u-Elliott wasebenzela inkampani yama-apula iminyaka eyishumi yonke, enakekela ibhizinisi le-inthanethi kanye ne-e-commerce.
Njengoba nje Imisebenzi ibuyela ku-Apple, u-Elliott wabanjwa yi-Packeteer yokuqala yenethiwekhi, lapho aba yi-CEO. Kamuva u-Elliott waya esidlangalaleni ngo-2008 futhi wathengisa i-Packeteer ku-Blue Coat Systems nge-$ 268 million. Ngemuva kwalokhu kuthengiselana okuyimpumelelo, waya eNew Zealand, lapho ayefuna ukuphumula nomndeni wakhe futhi abe ngumtshalizimali wezingelosi.
Ngaphansi kwezimo ezijwayelekile, lokho kungase kube isiphetho sendaba ka-Elliott, kodwa kwakungeke kube ngo-Pertin co-founder Scott Hankins. U-Hankins ungomunye umlingiswa othakazelisayo, ngendlela, ngoba washiya isikhundla esizuzisayo kumarobhothi wokwakha we-NASA ukuze athuthele eSigodini ngoba ecabanga ukuthi imboni yezobuchwepheshe ingcono kunesikhala.
UHankins uphinde wasebenza ePacketeer, kwathi lapho u-Elliott eya eNew Zealand, uHankins wayelokhu embiza futhi eveza imibono yakhe yokuqala. U-Elliott wayelokhu ethi cha waze wezwa ngoPertina. Ngenxa yalowo mbono, wagcina ethathe imali yakhe, wabuyela eSigodini futhi waba umqondisi omkhulu wephrojekthi entsha.
Iphrojekthi ye-Pertino isalokhu ifihliwe, kodwa lapho yembulwa ngokusemthethweni, izonikeza izinkampani indlela entsha yokwakha amanethiwekhi. Ngakho-ke singabheka phambili kulokho umuntu uSteve Jobs amnika iPorsche eneminyaka engu-23 angakwazi ukukwenza.
