Steve Jobs died today. The Apple web site is showing a full page picture. There is full coverage on the WSJ as well.
Many of us have enjoyed the fruits of Steve Jobs' vision, with the myriad of products and more importantly, experiences he has delivered to the world.
With this news, I reflected upon Steve Jobs' impact on my personal life. I had purchased an Apple IIPlus on November 3, 1981. A date I still remember, when I brought home the creme colored box that I had paid $1081.00 which came with a gargantuanm 48K of memory. I had to use a casette recorder and an old TV until I could afford to buy floppy drives and a green screen 9 inch monitor...
That experience was the catalyst that eventually brought me to the Valley. I started with the ability to program on my own computer, to writing and selling my first software product and then building the hardware, and so it goes. A career and personal journey that Steve Jobs guided with his vision...
Thank you Steve Jobs for all of the wonderful experiences you have brought us. There is a bright star in the sky for you. You will be dearly missed.
