    Atari avait confié à Jobs la tâche de réduire le nombre de puces présentes sur la carte électronique du jeu Breakout, pour un prix de 100$ par puce éliminée. Jobs a alors conclu un deal avec Wozniak afin que celui-ci se charge du travail, partageant ainsi 50% des gains avec lui. Après avoir éliminé 50 puces sur la carte (à la grande surprise d’Atari), Jobs aurait alors affirmé que l’entreprise ne lui aurait donné que 600$ au lieu des 5000 dus. Ce n’est que bien plus tard que Wozniak aurait découvert la supercherie.
