Ah, Steve Jobs. You changed an industry by doing some simple things. You showed that people didn't need to have the same boring look at computers and that it could be fun indeed.

You showed that the hype by some wasn't necessarily the truth and ask us to "Think Different" when it came to looking at the world.

Because of an Apple Macintosh SE, I got into computers. It showed that I didn't need to be a super math genius but have the necessary logic as to how things worked. It gave me confidence to explore more than that with various flavours of Unix and Linux.

More importantly thanks for revolutionizing computers into more than just glorified calculators, office systems and gaming platforms. A lot of what Apple brought to IT made it possible for us to have the variety we do.

Your genius and your vision that you brought to Apple, the IT industry (and the rest of the world) will be greatly missed.
