Boy, I remember seeing that picture when it came out in 1982... it really influenced me. The article that accompanied it was about how Apple computer had grown so fast that the founders didn't even have time to spend their money and buy furniture. Steve Job's reformulation of this story, as if he were some kind of zen minimalist monk in the old days, sure sounds better than what he said at the time, which was way more prosaic -- something like "I just bought a big house so I would have some place to live and Apple has kept me so busy I haven't had time to buy furniture."
