Totally ****** Up
When AZSTAD, Team Jeff, myself and a couple of our buddies went to LA, we mused about posting a picture of what we were all doing in the limo on the way into town. 6 guys, 6 iPhones, 4 iPads, a Macbook Air, a Macbook Pro...it's easy to forget what communication was like even 10 years ago. Steve Jobs was the leader of a company that transformed a whole lot of everyday life for a whole lot of people around the world, all over the socioeconomic ladder.
A tragedy he was lost to cancer so young.

I always envied his business savvy. RIP....
Some interesting biography on Steve...
Jobs was born in San Francisco and was adopted by Paul and Clara Jobs (née Hagopian) of Mountain View, California, who named him Steven Paul. Paul and Clara later adopted a daughter, whom they named Patti. Jobs' biological parents – Abdulfattah John Jandali, a Syrian Muslim graduate student from Homs who later became a political science professor, and Joanne Simpson (née Schieble), an American graduate student who went on to become a speech language pathologist – eventually married. Together, they gave birth to and raised Jobs' biological sister, novelist Mona Simpson.

I still have my original Apple II - not a II+, not a IIe, but the original Apple II. Bought it to generate monthly invoices for our business - and play Brick-out with my kids! Got sidetracked to IBM/PC for a very long time (way too long!), but a few years ago I went back to Mac. Even though it was revolutionary in it's day, it's interesting to compare the II with today's Apple devices - it's like comparing an oxcart to the Concorde.
