2013.4.23Paul Jobs suspended his sideline of repairing old cars so that the Apple team could have the whole garage. He put in a long old workbench, hung a schematic of the computer on the new plasterboard wall he built, and set up rows of labeled drawers for the components. He also built a burn box bathed in heat lamps so the computer boards could be tested by running overnight at high temperatures. When there was the occasional eruption of temper, an occurrence not uncommon around his son, Paul would impart some of his calm. “Whats the matter?” he would say. “You got a feather up your ass?” In return he occasionally asked to borrow back the TV set so he could watch the end of a football game. During some of these breaks, Jobs and Kottke would go outside and play guitar on the lawn. workbench w:kbent;w:kbent n. 工作台，手工台 suspend sspend v. 推迟,悬(浮),挂,暂停,取消 vi. 吊,悬浮 vt. 悬,挂,吊,暂停,中止 component kmpunnt n. 元件, 组件, 成份 adj. 组成的, 构成的 label leibl n. 标签,签条,商标,称谓 vt. 贴标签于,分类，把称为 n. 计算机标记, DOS命令 : 加上或修改磁盘的标签 drawer dr: n. 抽屉 sideline saidlain;saidlain n.
