This was truly a unique individual who passed. Steve Jobs was a genius in design, technology, business management. He had a really rare ability to not only foresee the future of Technology, harness that technology, drive the market to his vision and drove his company to fulfill his vision. That's really something.
My first home computer was a MacIntosh in 1985- had to buy it with monthly payments, as it was really expensive compared to the PC's running MSDOS that were competing with them, (about $3000 if I remember right and paid it off over 2 years!). But it was light years ahead of the competitors in terms of ease of use for the average user- you didn't need to learn MSDOS commands - just point and click!
So- RIP Steve Jobs- a one of a kind not seen since Thomas Edison.
