There is nothing wrong with mourning a genius

I'm two years older than Jobs and have been a software engineer my entire career.

Yes, I mourn his passing. Yeah, I'll miss his showmanship.

Sure, I admire him. Not everything about him, but those bits that have added to my life, I'll miss.

I'm kinda glad to be olde. I can ignore the cynics and the unwise ones that show themselves on FR from time to time.

What I do know is this:

As it must come to all men, death came to Jobs. The same death that will visit each of us in our own time. I'll never be mourned by millions or billions because I've done nothing to deserve it. Few people do. I rejoice that there are such people and that I've been able to share the planet with them.

Very thoughtful post. I agree.
