Steve Jobs "calling the homer"

This is a very early video of Steve Jobs just after founding Apple Computer.  This is an unbelievable moment caught on tape.  In this clip Steve Jobs explains the user experience revelation he had, and how it will change computing over the next 25 years.  This is him as a young man pointing to the stands and calling the home run, like Babe Ruth.  Truly remarkable.
