I can’t say I ever warmed up to Apple. My boss during graduate school was a big Mac fan, and always had the newest software loaded up on the lab Macs. He also made sure that the lab Macs could read PC disks.

I haven’t used a Mac since grad school. Yet I have Apple software on my computer. It just appears.

When my son told me a few days ago that Steve Jobs had resigned from Apple, I commented that it must mean he’s really sick by now, and he won’t be around much longer.

I guess I was right.

You don’t have to be a Mac fan to appreciate all that Steve Jobs accomplished.

RIP, Mr. Jobs.

That’s a nice sentiment, there’s no harm in acknowledging that someone did something that affected a lot of people in a positive way, even if it didn’t hit you that way.

I understand that there are some people everywhere including some on Free Republic, and even some on this very thread that can’t find it in their heart to at least see the positive side for single day, but can’t do much about that.

People have to live their own lives, and live within their own skin. So be it…
