Steve Jobs, Creator of Beautiful Technology
I bought an Apple IIe in the early 80's. It was a thing of beauty, opening up a whole new world of possibility. But, my God, how primitive it was by today's standards! The first time I touched an iPhone and experienced the magic of its interface I had another WOW moment. By coincidence, today I ordered an iPad 2. I had been thinking about buying another tablet, but after seeing one in a hotel bar over the weekend, I again fell in love with the thing. What a peculiar and wondrous ability the man possessed. He knew intuitively how the look and feel of a thing could stir the heart as well as the mind.
Steve Jobs will be missed. He was one of a kind. America is poorer for his going, but how marvelous to have shared his time on the planet.
