I got home from work, took a short nap, and when I woke up I learned that Steve Jobs had died. Jobs’ return to Apple was the all-time greatest corporate comeback. He not only saved the company from going under, Jobs revolutionized personal computing, as he had done before with the Mac, thanks in part to an inspirational kick from a visit to Xerox PARC. Steve Jobs was only six months older than me, and I didn’t need a further reminder of the passage of time, but I have one anyway.
Lennon style glasses!
RIP
My take is that Jobs’ underlying motivations weren’t to be rich or be liked.
It is, in fact, hard to imagine Mr. Jobs at rest. A terrible loss.
