Very sad all day. In 1984 I bought the original Mac at the end of college with summer job money — 128k, no hard drive, 9 inch screen. Got me through grad school. I was too broke to buy another machine for years. Then I was forced to use Windows. But over time I could afford things and came back and now have three Apples, including an iMac I bought last week.
Steve was a hero. He made a part of my day and week which could be blah and miserable into something painless and beautiful. He made it clear we don’t have to settle for horrible things just because they somehow got the job done. And there was something heroic about the way he did it. You just knew he would fight hammer and tong through a river of blood before he settled for something that wasn’t . . . beautiful.
Two words say it all.
Amen.
