    My job keeps me in touch with about 700 Macintoshes and a few iPod Touches and iPads. I owe my job to Steve Jobs.

    I prefer PCs and Android to Macs and IPhones, but it would be silly to not admit what an impact Jobs and Apple have had on technology.  Even when I feel a Android does something more efficiently, or a PC machine is more cost effectively, I know that they came up with their versions as a reaction to what Apple initiated.

     

    I didn't (and don't) like Jobs' business model, but he was truly a futurist, and the world is better for his time here.

    When people die, they see their lives blasting through their mind in a flash. Steve Jobs did not experience this. Apple does not support Flash.

    You're a bad, bad man, Rich Lane.
