Steve Jobs

1955-2011

Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.

I remembered Steve from the early year of personal computer, ie, around 1977. He then built and sold Apple 1, which lasted for a short while and then Apple II. It was Apple II computer which was cloned by so many people. Later Apple III and Lisa, etc. Click here to read an interesting commentary about the company.
