Steve Jobs - What a Legacy!

Steve Jobs has had a profound effect on the world. He was certainly a visionary. There is no doubt about that. He changed our lives forever. He understood the importance of user friendly and brought the mysterious world of computers into our offices, our homes, our brief cases, our purses and our pockets, in an easy to use format.

I had just started working in the retail computer industry when the MAC 128K was released. I bought one and started loading my recipes into it. I thought it was wonderful. I remember how I marveled at MacPaint, and what fun I had with it. We have sure come a long way.

Steve Jobs was a visionary genius who came along at just the right time in history. He has left an unbelievable legacy. May he rest in peace.

You are so right, what an incredible man. Can you imagine the things that were rolling around in his head. He was a genius!! Apple will certainly have to step it up with out him.

Donna, so very true. We shed a few tears for him last night - my husband and I are both big Jobs fans. What a genius he was, and what a full and rich life he lived for one so relatively young.

Suzanne, I wonder what wonderful things we will miss because he's not here to share his future vision with us.

Debb, I have admired Steve's genius for twenty eight years. He was really an incredibly talented Applied Scientist. He saw how masses of people could use computers in their daily lives. He took computers to a whole new place in our lives.

iSad too!! As my husband said earlier, if we only accomplish a small bit of what Steve Jobs accomplished in his life . . .

The world, his family and friends have lost much with Mr. Jobs' passing.

Donna, iSad as well. I just saw his Stanford commencement address from 2005 and it was very touching to know this man who wanted to live everyday like it was his last did so many positive world changing things by following his heart. He will be missed!

Peg, There is no doubt he will be missed. He will also be remembered. He has earned his place in history. Long after you and I are gone our great-great grandchildren will know who Steve Jobs was.
