I sit now reflecting on all the tech devices that Apple has given every day ordinary people. I write now on a MacBook Air, I text on an iPhone. Steve you were a visionary and will be sorely missed.

my youngest dd was involved in FIRST robotics for all 4 years of high school...
Steve Jobs was a founder of that organization...she met him 3-4 times.. he was always great to the kids & interested in all they wanted to show him..
that kind of talent & generosity is rare.. he will be missed.

I bought my first Mac when my DD was at Stanford in '84, and students got a GREAT deal on them. They could buy one a year, so we inherited one the 2nd year she was there. That one went to my folks the next year - when they were in their 70s. They joined the local Mac club in Tucson, and the people there were very welcoming - delighted to have a couple of 70-year-olds learning to use a computer! All due to Steve Jobs! When email came along, my Mom quickly jumped on the bandwagon - got in touch with people she had not written to in years. Wrote letters and demanded that they learn how to do email! Some did - especially one of her sisters.

Ah yes, once an Apple/Mac fan, always an Apple/Mac fan. I would never buy anything else. I've had 5 of them and still love them. Not like I needed to buy a new one but kept getting talked into getting a new one because the computer was 7 years old. LOL He was such a visionary and will be sorely missed for all the innovative technological breakthroughs he developed for the world.

All my kids have the "I" products they are wonderful. (Never wanted to splurge, but sure was jealous) When seeing Steve on tv he always seemed like a very down to earth, nice guy. Such a shame his life was so short!
