Subject: I think it was how he wanted technology to be more accessible that made Apple what it is today.

I'm writing this using my Mac-Mini, my iPhone is in my pocket and my iPad sits next to our bed. They connect me to the world or to my family with ease, needed little explanation on use out of the box and they look good too. I used to think Apple products were overpriced and over-rated and then I started using them. Boy, was I wrong.

Those shit-for-brains bags of hot air will say just about anything to get some press time. Pathetic.

We sat around the table at supper last night and talked about his legacy. He wasn't an easy man to deal with and Andy had one of the best stories about how differently he would think.

A crew of engineers and designers had brought him a prototype and he was upset at the size of the new machine. Kept demanding that they needed to make it smaller. They protested that it was impossible, that they had gone to the limits of downsizing the unit. Fed up, he walked over to a fishtank in the room and dropped the prototype in....a cascade of bubbles emerged. All that air meant there was still plenty of empty space within.

Even if you don't like the way he operated or his machines, if you use a computer or cell phone, you are using a piece of technology that was made better by that company's effort to keep up with Apple's achievements.
