A blog describing a mid 90's visit to Steve Job's residence and his B&O system.

"We went to the living room, everything was in white tones: the walls,sofa, the carpet. All very pleasant and relaxing, it was not a showy house. You could see that everything had a practical purpose. There weren’t many decorations on the walls, everything looked very clean and I was scared to death to break or leave any dirt on that spotless room.What struck me was that there was no TV until my girlfriend showed me it was hidden. You had to open a white closet and inside it there was the TV and a stereo.We continued the tour on the bottom floor and reached the dining room.In the centre there was a big and long wooden table. Very elegant. I don’t remember seeing a minibar. What I saw was a photo of Mr. Jobs with President Clinton. She told me that when he visited them the house was full of bodyguards, policemen and helicopters. I was starting to feel as if we were being watched.There was also a stereo like no other I had ever seen, you had to wave your hand in front of it and it opened. Years later I learned that it was a Bang & Olufsen, probably like the Beosound 3200."
