I didn’t attack the poster. I attacked the author who only grew a conscience very late into the article.

The author lines his article with a title implying overtly Steve was a selfish SOB and spends two paragraphs on the subject of legacy and draws a comparison of legacy and intent with says Steve was tight with philanthropy.

He even calls Steve out for watching all the misery in the world and not lifting a finger.

He has zero idea what Steve did and I barely have any idea as well, except that he helped my charities at various times.

He begins his transmogrification by calling out the cleansing of consciousness for Carnegie and Gates.

It is only then he tells the tale of accomplishments from Lisa, which doesn’t mention but, does begin with Apple II and all the way through Ipad.

It is only now, at this point in the article, he begins his lame legacy epithet of who much Steve changed the world.

This, after painting him as a charitable misery? Puhlease.

“Selfish son of a bitch? Don’t know. Doesn’t matter. A model for prosperity and improving the human condition… now that’s a legacy worth leaving.”

Seriously? After the preface?

Give me a break.

I met the man and found him helpful if not generous.

This article is stupid and so is the author.

Your initial post seemed to attack the Freeper who posted it, you ought to be more careful than that. As for the rest, it is simply clear that you did not "get" the article, like I did, and how the author intended. Alot of that knee jerking going on in this thread, but thats not surprising, we do alot of that here.

And I dont care how well you knew Steve, you didn't "get" the article. Your loss really, because you got all worked up over nothing.
