Apple Computer, and by connection Steve Job, have been a part of my life since the early 1980″s. The first computer I owned was an Apple IIe, and since then I have owned too many Apples to count.
Few people really make a major difference in the world, and Steve Jobs was one of them. He changed the game, the playing field, and the way the game is scored. No one in the compute industry can deny his influence or his genius, and his absence will leave a void that cannot easily be filled.
I cannot imagine doing what I do creatively without Apple products. They have been my tools, and with them I have developed as an artist. Thank-you Steve Jobs. You left the world too soon, but you continue to live inside the machine.
