Steve Jobs

Genius...Gone Too Soon
"Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me... 
Going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful... 
that's what matters to me."
Steve Jobs

A sad day for the world. Steve jobs was a visionary. 
A brilliant man full of ideas and innovation.

I've used a macintosh computer since 1989.
I've also used a pc at work when I was forced to.
There was never a comparison.
The mac was always better.

I'm sad today to say goodbye to Steve Jobs.
He had so many more ideas in him to bring to the world.


I'm sad for his family, his company and for all of us whose lives he touched and made better.

What a lovely tribute, Nita. Though an early PC user myself, I too fell in love with the Mac. Thank you, Steve

I echo your thoughts. I love my MAC and the world has lost a true visionary.

Yes, a sad day! We have so much to thank him for!

Brilliantly said, as usual. He was a visionary that was able to bring his ideas to the masses.

I am sad too. He did some amazing things with his life. And now he will be sadly missed.

Lovely tribute...I've never used a PC...used an Apple since day one...what a terrible loss...

I feared this day was coming soon, yet I was hoping for a medical miracle. I use Apple products every day as do so many others. What a brilliant man. Although his life was too short, it was well lived. He used his talents. He should be a role model for us all. Lovely Tribute Nita.

Hugs,
Susan and Bentley

I completely agree. I'm a Mac fan from way back before Apple was cool. So few people are actually able to change the world, but he did. It's sad to see that genius and inspiration gone.

Very sad indeed. I do agree with Susan though...he definitely is one who used his skill and talents, and did change the world, for the better, for many.

I just got my first Mac last week.

Very nice tribute, Nita.

I've always used Apple products. My first Mac? 1993. It's been only Macs since then. Like you, I've had to use PCs when working - but my lord, there is definitely no comparison.

He died too, too young.

Too young, too soon.
Life can be so unfair.

A very lovely tribute. I'm a Mac girl, too, and I'm going to wear my black turtleneck and jeans next Friday in his honor.
