Passing of Steve Jobs - R.I.P.
Last Sunday ... there was Bill, Anthony, and myself with our heads down, "Learning to Program in Python". And all of us were using Apple computers. Windows still dominates the market, but Apple has regrown into the "classy act" - the laptops in our business that many aspire to. I awaken this morning to learn of the passing of Steve Jobs, founder of and and ongoing visionary at Apple, and I shed a tear or two, and I applaud him for truely changing - well - my world anyway, and the world of many others. And in such a positive way.
