R.I.P. Steve Jobs

[Volkai]

Right now Bill Gates is laughing maniacally in his skull shaped volcano lair.

Actually... http://www.thegatesnotes.com/Personal/Steve-Jobs


As for how Steve Jobs has relevance to our ability to play FFXI, in short: Without Steve Jobs, the Apple II would never have taken off - would never have been made, most likely. Without the Apple II, the Personal Computer would not have become A Thing.


Additionally, while Jobs was indeed very rich, I think it's worth pointing out that most of that value was through shares of Apple stock and Disney stock - and he got the Disney stock as part of Disney's acquisition of Pixar.


Steve was certainly not a perfect person, but it's undeniable that he changed the world, and I think at least this thread ought to be one of remembrance, of respect.
