Apple would no longer be just a computer company -- indeed it would drop that word from its name

When he was turning thirty, Jobs had used a metaphor about record albums.
乔布斯年近30岁时曾作过一个关于唱片的比喻。
He was musing about why folks over thirty develop rigid thought patterns and tend to be less innovative.
他一直在思考为何人在30多岁后就会变得思维僵化、缺乏创新意识。
"People get stuck in those patterns, just like grooves in a record, and they never get out of them," he said.
他说：“人们被卡在这些固有的形式中，就像唱片中某一段固定的凹槽，他们永远无法摆脱出来。”
At age forty-five, Jobs was now about to get out of his groove.
