Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell and Henry Ford

I’ve owned many many of each of the things these guys are famous for. I’ve never owned a single dang thing jobs was famous for...and probably never will. In fact, I would bet that with the death of jobs, apple will gradually year by year fade to oblivion.

If you own a personal computer.... you own what Jobs was famous for.

Before Jobs (and he screwed things up, in my book), computers were for guys with soldering irons, paper tape readers, and lots free time on the weekends.

So yes, you do own something that Jobs popularized. The PC.
