Hey Steve, Thank you!
The Macintosh sparked my love for technology. I started on a Apple IIc in high school, then IIe & Quadra's in college (I taught a fellow student how to use a Mac- I later married her), it got me my first job using Quadra's and LCII's and III's, I got my first laptop in 1996 the 5300, my first PDA the Newton 110 (a gift from my boss Fred), basically I've used every Mac since then till today. I still have a Power Computing Power Tower Pro. It was an exciting era - the best was attending Macworld in San Francisco and Boston and even New York - the good old days.
The great thing is I still work with Macs, so does my wife and our two kids use them. And come to think of so do all of my neighbors. Not bad for a company that many had predicted to fail. It didn't because of Steve.

Steve Jobs, the mastermind behind Apple's iPhone, iPad, iPod, iMac and iTunes, has died, Apple said. Jobs was 56.
"We are deeply saddened to announce that Steve Jobs passed away today," read a statement by Apple's board of directors. "Steve's brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives. The world is immeasurably better because of Steve. His greatest love was for his wife, Laurene, and his family. Our hearts go out to them and to all who were touched by his extraordinary gifts."
The homepage of Apple's website this evening switched to a full-page image of Jobs with the text, "Steve Jobs 1955-2011."
