RIP Steve Jobs, one of my heroes
He will be missed. I donāt really like Macs, but I respect Steve Jobs. He was a great visionary, innovator, communicator, and truly one of a kind. I read that he not only founded Apple, but he also started the company whose technology gave rise to the internet, and also turned Pixar into what it is today. Also, as those who read JVNās blog will know, he was a great designer. He will be sorely missed.

Oh wow, sorry, I know who he is. Wasnāt thinkingā¦
I sent a friend an e-mail a few days agoā¦
I have been a geek since 1982, maybe even always⦠The Apple Computer Company was 5-6 years old when I saw my first Apple ]+, Steve J. and Steve W. have been my Heroes of the Computer Revolution since that momentā¦
My kids are Generation Z ( or Generation I or Generation M ), they have always had the Internet, with only 4 years on Dial-Up, They have always seen cell phones, and own a personal Cell Phone for the last couple years⦠I still have my Apple //e, and my kids still play Lode Runner and Microwave on it⦠A computer that is 2-3 Times as old as they are and they feel the Thrill I felt back thenā¦
They have a Wii, but are interested in older Nintendo, so I bought them a Nintendo 64, and I am digging the Super Nintendo out of storage, I just need to get the Penny out of it. Donāt want to āshortā anything out.
BTW, anyone know of a Reasonably Priced copy of the SNES Game, Earthbound??
Thanks Steve Jobs for being ādifferentā⦠āThinking Differentā¦ā We will definitely miss you, I will definitely miss youā¦
