Yesterday we lost a true visionary, a computing pioneer, a perfect example of the American Dream. Steve Jobs finally succumbed to his battle with pancreatic cancer that he had been fighting for quite some time. It became inevitable that he was losing the battle when he abruptly stepped down as Apple's CEO a couple of months ago.
I never really got to use Apple computers all that much except a few times in my teens in the 80's and quite recently tinkering with a friend's MacBook (Pro). I always called them the "Rich man's computer" because they are rather expensive, but definitely worth it if you can afford one. I admire how Apple does things. Their reliability and performance are legendary, much like Steve Jobs himself. However, I do currently own an iPod Touch and love it. Perhaps one day soon I'll give in and purchase a MacBook or MacBook Pro.
Thank You, Steve Jobs for all that you have done and brought to the world of computers. You've inspired many people, as well as touched so many you came into contact with. You will not soon be forgotten. Even future generations will know who you are. Godspeed & God Bless, as you make your way up to that big iPad2 in the sky!
