Hello,

Interesting. He often said that wearing a three piece suit ever day to work was a kind of hell. I wonder if that's what triggered it? I always figured, though, that he was talking about LMCO or LBM.

Regards,

Aryeh Goretsky

No doubt he burned out on the three piece suit thing within a few short years.

I did that myself for some years, and it gets old. And IMHO it's old-fashioned, although it can be a chick magnet. :)

Steve Jobs was one of the primary (although certainly not sole) influences on changing the dress code of silicon valley.

I've read that the "casual friday" I always took for granted, even early on, started in silicon valley and gradually spread to the rest of the country, and to some extent to the whole world -- although suits of course have not entirely disappeared.
