As a fledgling graphic designer in the early 90s, I quickly fell in love with Apple and all things associated. I will be dusting off and booting up my Macintosh Classic when I get home tonight.
Thank you, Steve, for sharing yourself with us. Blessings to your friends and family.
You were a true genius, and one of the most creative human beings I have shared this planet with as a contemporary in time and space. Now, you belong to the ages.
Reading that Steve Jobs has died was terrifically sad. But to realize that I was reading it on my beloved and treasured iPad brought me to a profound level of gratitude and I was filled with awe. I thank my Creator that the power of thought, imagination, action and service were so beautifully shown to us through Steve Jobs' life and work. Glory Glory Glory!
We have lost a fine example of the quintessential American, a self-made
man, brilliant, and entrepreneur. His legacy will be felt for many years to
come. My most sincere condolences to his family and friends.
