Mourning the Loss of an iCon
I’ve been a Mac addict since my parents got an Apple II+ back in the 1980s. So I was extremely saddened to hear of Steve Jobs’ passing.
Steve Jobs
1955-2011
“Your time is limited. Don’t waste it living someone else’s life.”
For too many years, loyal Mac users had to put up with being mocked as second class citizens. But our faith in Apple was well founded and, in the end, Steve showed that the principals of quality development, user-friendly interface, and style could be used to create the best computers on the planet. To a large extent, Steve managed to redesign the entire world of technology, and today we live in an iWorld in which we all benefit from his visionary ideas. I never met him personally, but I am very sorry he is gone. Probably the greatest thing about Steve Jobs, though, was that he made it cool to be a computer geek. Who would have thought anyone could accomplish that? Here’s hoping Steve’s spirit of technological cool lives on forever!
