This is the absolute best, by far, vanity I have ever read on Free Republic.
My journey was different, but I remember the evolution of Apple products much like you do.
A worthy send off to a great man.
Thanks Steve!
Ronin, As someone who has conversed with you over the years on occasion on Free Republic, your complement is high praise indeed. Thank you, and I’m glad you enjoyed it. It was funny, when I sat down at my computer and saw the announcement of his death on Free Republic (Naturally, it’s where I get my news from now) I was just going to write a little blurb maybe 2 lines.
But as I sat there and thought about the impact, the direct impact that products with his unique imprimatur on them, had on me personally, as I started to write… I ended up sitting there for a while! When I was done, I looked at it and said “darn… I can’t post that in the existing thread because nobody will read it, it’s too long, a stream of consciousness so to speak, and people don’t read those things in the middle of a thread. Darn, I can’t start a new thread and then post a link in the existing thread either, because that might be like hijacking thread…”
Anyway, thanks for reading it.
So true, so true. You and I both, buddy. I posted links to this on Facebook and Twitter. Wonderful write-up, FRiend. :)
