When he was working on the NeXT computer, he went to Baez's house in Woodside to show her how well it could produce music.
在NeXT計算機的開發階段，喬布斯到貝茲在伍德賽德的家，向她展示NeXT強大的音樂功能。
"He had it play a Brahms quartet, and he told me eventually computers would sound better than humans playing it,
“他讓它演奏了一曲勃拉姆斯的四重奏，然后告訴我，電腦最終會比人演奏得更好聽，
even get the innuendo and the cadences better," Baez recalled. She was revolted by the idea.
甚至連意境和節奏都會更好。”貝茲回憶說，她非常排斥這種想法。
"He was working himself up into a fervor of delight while I was shrinking into a rage and thinking,
“他越說越興奮，我卻越聽越僨怒，我在想：
How could you defile music like that?"
你怎么能這么褻瀆音樂？”
Jobs would confide in Debi Coleman and Joanna Hoffman about his relationship with Baez
喬布斯會跟黛比·科爾曼和喬安娜·霍夫曼吐露他跟貝茲的關系，
and worry about whether he could marry someone who had a teenage son and was probably past the point of wanting to have more children.
他對是否可以跟她結婚這個問題有些煩心：她已經有了個十幾歲的兒子，可能巳經過了想再要更多孩子的階段。
"At times he would belittle her as being an 'issues' singer and not a true 'political' singer like Dylan," said Hoffman.
“有時候他會說她只是個事件歌手，不是像迪倫那樣真正的‘政治’歌手。”霍夫曼說，
"She was a strong woman, and he wanted to show he was in control.
“她是個個性很強的女人，而他想表現出是他在控制局面。
Plus, he always said he wanted to have a family, and with her he knew that he wouldn't."
再加上，他總是說他想生兒育女，他知道跟她是不會有的。”
And so, after about three years, they ended their romance and drifted into becoming just friends.
就這樣，過了大約3年，他們終止了戀情，慢慢變成了朋友。
"I thought I was in love with her, but I really just liked her a lot," he later said.
“我以為我愛她，但其實我只是非常喜歡她，”他后來說，
"We weren't destined to be together. I wanted kids, and she didn't want any more."
“我們是注定無法在一起的。我想要孩子，她不想再要了。”
In her 1989 memoir, Baez wrote about her breakup with her husband and why she never remarried:
貝茲在1989年的回憶錄中，談到了她跟丈夫的分手，以及為什么她沒有再婚：
"I belonged alone, which is how I have been since then, with occasional interruptions that are mostly picnics."
“我屬于自己，所以從那時起我就一直一個人，偶爾有些小插曲，也大多像是野餐而已。”
She did add a nice acknowledgment at the end of the book to "Steve Jobs for forcing me to use a word processor by putting one in my kitchen."
在該書結尾的致謝辭中，她寫了這樣一段溫馨的話：“感謝史蒂夫·喬布斯，為了迫使我使用文字處理器，硬是在我家廚房里放了一臺。”
