Steve Jobs' first day at work in pictures

STEVE Jobs didn't always wear his signature black skivvy. In fact, newly found photos showed he wore purple on his first day at work. Well? kind of.

A former Apple employee recently discovered a set of photos of Steve Jobs taken on the first day of his return to the company.

Jobs had been fired from Apple in 1985 after allegedly organising a "Coup d'état" of the Apple board. He was invited back to the company more than a decade later in 1996.

Former Mac OS Evangelist Tim Holmes had been working late that night, and was invited by his boss to attend a "Town Hall" meeting which was usually for things like company announcements.

However, "it was clearly not a company meeting," Holmes wrote on his Flickr account.

Holmes said he called his wife and told her to meet him there. "We had no idea what was about to happen."

You can guess what happened next. Apple was about to introduce Jobs as the de-facto chief. (Then CEO, Gil Amelio would be ousted within a year).

The photos were taken with one of Apple's first cameras, the Apple QuickTake. It was a camera Jobs himself would kill within the year, and probably for good reason. The colours were all wrong.

Holmes emphasized that Jobs was wearing a black jacket "in real life", as opposed to the bright purple it appears to be in the photo.

"The colours are way off due to the poor quality of digital cameras in 1996," Holmes explained.
