Thank you for my first computer -- what was it 64k or 128k? I know it had those big floppy discs. Thank you for my IPod, my IPhone and about a half of dozen other computers. I have always been an Apple user, I have 4 at the moment -- all work but I only use one.
I am so sorry to hear about Job's passing. I will miss him even though I didn't know him personally, I feel like I did, his legacy has always been in my den.

I owned an Apple II in 1978. It would be a valuable antique if I still owned it today. I migrated to Windows. It took me a long time to surrender its grip, but I did around ten years ago and never looked back. Jobs was enigmatic, to say the least, but the kind of pragmatic, iconoclast and visionary who comes along only a few times in a generation. My son sighted him only a few months ago, walking down a quiet side street in the West Village in Manhattan. Alone. No bodyguards. Holding a bottle of water. When I hear of someone so young taken by a rare form of cancer, it makes me wonder about the influence of toxics he was exposed to in the early years of Apple. It is pure speculation of course but, the sorrow of an untimely death wants an answer. Godspeed, Steve Jobs.
very sad and heartfelt. We need to cultivate more visionaries like him.
