Steve Jobs on Michael Dell: Criticizing Dell's Strategy
What Jobs talks about
The recording is presented as a 1997 set of remarks about Michael Dell, but the transcript itself is heavily garbled and does not preserve a clear, coherent argument from Jobs. It appears to be intended as a criticism of Dell, but the surviving text is too corrupted to identify the exact points with confidence.
Because the transcript is not readable in a reliable way, this page should be treated primarily as an archival placeholder for the recording rather than a source for precise thematic claims.
Jobs appears to speak throughout; the transcript is garbled and does not clearly identify any other speaker.
In his words
“I just wanted to say thank you to all of you for taking the time to speak to us today.”
“I think that's about all I wanted to say.”
“Well, without further ado, the winner for this is a woman with a small hand”

I think that's about all I wanted to say. I just wanted to say thank you to all of you for taking the time to speak to us today. I named all the winners in this that we sentenced to death the very first of which is the American Academy of Fine Arts, where I gave a speech in knowledge of similar influence to African-Americans in the work I was doing at the American Academy of Fine Arts.
Well, without further ado, the winner for this is a woman with a small hand that I told Gretchen about and some colleague of mine who arrived here to give us a speech today.
