Dedication to Steve Jobs.

[Enigma8750]

No matter how you feel about Steve Jobs the man, you have to admit that he did more for the PC industry and Windows than any other man, except for the Xerox employee that came up with the original GUI Idea for copiers that Mac and Windows are based on.

Steve Jobs doesn't have much more time in this world so I sincerely hope that he does as well in the next one.

Steve. Here's to you. I hope you see this. I Remember. I remember it all and it was exciting and it was great. You made my boss freak out when I showed him a Pie chart graph of his company and the downward spiral that it was about to take right before I was fired. LOL

Steve. Much love and many prayers to you my far away friend. I refuse to think of you as the frail and sick man that you are today. I will always remember you as the extremely energetic strong almost super man that you have always been in the past. You had a great Idea and you never let it go. You drove some to the edge of insanity with your dogged determination but you got what you wanted and you got results that were so far ahead of its own time.

Thanks for all the cool gadget and toys.. I have loved them all. You were a tyrant for some and an inspiration to others and you worked your Axx off as one of the best salesmen in modern history. When Apple was just a core of itself back in the 90's, you came back to it and infused your enthusiasm and made it a power house that it is today.

Apple MAC Computer and the very computing world as we know it today stands on your legacy along with the hard working people that worked under you. Great work Steve.

For all you Do... This Tribute is for you.
Love you.. And now. A tribute to Steve Jobs.

Steve, you didn't invent the computer.. Someone else did that at IBM along time before you, but you gave the people the power of the PC at home. You gave it a personality and a character all its own, and you never settled for just good enough as some of your major competetor's did, you aimed for perfection and even demanded it in most cases.

You made computers cool. So cool, that the word "Geek" became something young men aspired to be. Like myself. You used Ideas, many from different sources, and put them all together, and made them your own special recipe with a flavor that is all Steve Job's
Thanks Steve. May God Bless You and Keep You, Jesus be in You in your time of need, and may I see you one day in Heaven.

making your font giant is annoying.

and if u knew anything about apple the woz did everything for computing and engineering for apple, jobs is a d-bag who sold things, patent trolled and was the slave driver for getting code pumped out.

I do know about Wazniack. I was there. He was the brains behind the Apple original and the others. But it was Steve that Moved the product. I agree, He is a pain in the Axx and a Slave driver. Yes he trolled the Unix code and also the Xerox Labs GUI but I stand by my words and my Big AXX fonts..

I love stuff like this.. I really gets reader's attention.

He also offered to pay some of his first employees with Stock. Had they gone for it a lot of Multimillionaires would have been made.

i guess ill take that explanation, u need some1 to push your product or u end with nothing.

what did u do over here that u would know them. i had the chance to go to a local it user group meeting with woz seeking and he is an amazing engineer.


and i did not mean trolling like unix i mean trolling like overly broad pattents and suing people for things that they made before apple filed for the pattent, like when they tried to sue rio and archos for portable audio players or recently samsung for an iphone like interface/icons that samsung has used for well over 10 years now

Apple had there own legal problems with the Beatles. The Beatles sued Apple computers for copyright infringement and they finally settled out of court under the agreement that Apple Computers never get into the music business..

See "iTunes" and "iPod"

When Steve Jobs created the Apple I computer in 1976, he was well on his way to creating the personal computer market. Unfortunately, he named it specifically after the Beatles' Apple, a similarly idealistic company the group had formed back in the late Sixties as a tax write-off. That company, one of history's most notoriously unstructured, soon collapsed, but it lived on as a record label for the group. When the surviving members finally put their Dickensian pile of lawsuits behind them in the late Eighties, they reformed Apple as a clearinghouse for Beatles product (including, of course, music). Since they owned the copyright first, Jobs and his company were forced to reach an agreement with the Beatles' Apple over the use of its name. And so the trouble began.

The Waz went on to engineer many different new devices. My favorite is the SEGWAY.

Which was invented as a legal way of taking out a President.

I don't like Apple

Raspberry's suck to me.. But fruits are not what we are talking about.. LOL

RIP Steve. Great man, not always great for us consumers, but certainly great for the industry.

I did not really like him but I do appreciate his contribution to the tech world. It is a sad day for us guys who played with Apples in school in the early 80s. RIP and God be with you.

Good words.. You have to admit. One of the best visionaries and Salesmen that ever was in my lifetime except for Zig Zigler. His Insight to what he wanted the computer to be ultimately came true. Now a grandmother from Mass. can video chat with her grandkids in the Phillipines thanks to his forethought and attitude toward the whole of humanity. He was a Slave driver.. He was an Ass and he did Set almost unattainable Goals that his Employees never seemed to be able to attain.. But what they came up with is still with us now. Windows would be nothing without the MAC OS to copy. Yea.. It was made for a Xerox copier which made it twice as nice because it took up almost no resources.. The Mac OS could do on half the power what the Windows based machine could not. For years. The bar was set so High that Windows 95 and 98 was a pure joke in comparison to what the Mac OS 5 was.

RIP STEVE. You will be missed.

Yes RIP Steve. I am not a big fan of him but no doubt he knew what he was doing.
i am a bit shocked a bit or actually a lot to see him go so soon after his drop out at apple.
i didn't think or know that his health is that bad.
god bless his soul and may he be in a better place now.
