Steve Jobs passed away

[James Steele]

Apologies, JS. For the record I copied and pasted an email I received from my mother, of all people, and did not read all the copy word for word. Delete as see fit, of course. I know nothing of Nick Schulz, personally. I just found the failure part of the article most inspiring for me personally, as I have been self employed my entire life.

No, I understand. Me too... self employed. Just wanted to head off discussion turning in that direction is all.

Stay gold, brother. You rock.

I think it's important to see as well that there are successes other than short term financial ones. The original Mac (which would most definitely not have happened without Steve Jobs) is still around in a very recognisable form today both in OSX and in Windows. Objective-C is the language that underpins iOS and OSX development and it, along with its support libraries, was taken intact from the NextStep OS. Sometimes seeds take time to germinate and grow but still someone needs to plant them. I think the future will recognise the greatness of Steve Jobs and we are all privileged to have shared some of his time and energies.

Great point.

I put this picture of him as my secondary monitor wallpaper.
I'm hoping if he's just sitting there staring at me it will get me more motivated.

Scoot, I was not at all inferring you need motivation, just that your avatar pic would definitely motivate me, is all!

Reminds me of my 95 year old grandmother...

Oh....
Well, you're welcome to use my avatar as your wallpaper if you want to.
I don't know who it is but I don't think they will mind either.
