I loved Gassée's Freudian slip at 0:10:44:
"... now I'm a vulture capi... er, venture capitalist."
His story of getting himself fired from Apple by Scully a bit prior to that was also quite amusing and revealing of his frank nature.
I also loved Bill Atkinson's story at 18:17 paraphrasing Steve Jobs convincing him to drop out of med school and join Apple:
"You know how fun it is to surf on the front edge of a wave? Now think about the poor guy dog-paddling on the tail end of the same wave... it's no fun! You go the same distance, you know, but this guy's just eating the back of the wave; this guy's surfing. Come to Apple and surf!"
And finally, for those wanting to skip the bulk of the video and go straight to the part with Gassée discussing NeXT and Be, it's at 58:22.
