McCollum believed in military discipline and respect for authority. Jobs didn't. His aversion to authority was something he no longer tried to hide, and he affected an attitude that combined wiry and weird intensity with aloof rebelliousness. McCollum later said, "He was usually off in a corner doing something on his own and really didn't want to have much of anything to do with either me or the rest of the class." He never trusted Jobs with a key to the stockroom. One day Jobs needed a part that was not available, so he made a collect call to the manufacturer, Burroughs in Detroit, and said he was designing a new product and wanted to test out the part. It arrived by air freight a few days later. When McCollum asked how he had gotten it, Jobs described, with defiant pride, the collect call and the tale he had told. "I was furious," McCollum said. "That was not the way I wanted my students to behave.” Jobs's response was, "I don't have the money for the phone call. They've got plenty of money."
麦克勒姆的教室在校园边缘一座厂房模样的建筑里，紧邻着停车场。“就在这儿，”乔布斯凝视着教室的窗户说，“隔壁就是以前的汽车修理课教室。”这样一种空间上的并列关系也突出了他们这一代与父母那一代在兴趣上发生的转变。“麦克勒姆先生觉得电子学就是新的汽车维修。” 麦克勒姆信奉军事化的戒律以及对权威的尊重，乔布斯则不然。他已经不再隐藏自己对权威的厌恶，他的态度结合了怪异而顽固的激情和超然的叛逆。“他经常一个人在角落里做自己的事情，压根不想跟我或者班上的其他人有任何交流。”麦克勒姆后来说。他从来没有放心把储藏室的钥匙给过乔布斯。有一次，乔布斯需要一样市面上找不到的零件，他就给制造商——底特律的伯勒斯公司——打了一个对方付费的电话，告诉他们自己正在设计一个新产品，想要测试一下那个部件。几天之后，这个部件通过航空包裹寄到乔布斯手上。当麦克勒姆问他从哪儿弄来的时候，乔布斯带着一种旁无若人的骄傲讲述了事情的经过——他是怎样打对方付费电话并且编故事的。“我很愤怒，”麦克勒姆说，“我不希望我的学生做这样的事情。”乔布斯的反应则是：“我没钱打电话，而那家公司很有钱。”
