Steve Jobs and Apple
How do I even encapsulate my grief?
It may seem weird that I would grieve for a rich, kind of bastardy guy who I have never even met.
However, I spent years reading book upon book about computer history, and one of my hobbies is collecting antique computers, especially Apples.
Both of the Steves - Woz and Jobs - are like old friends to me, in a strange way. I admire them for the ground-breaking engineering and marketing hacks they did that helped build this wonderful technological world we live in now.
None of this would exist without them.
While I was always a bit more of a Woz girl than a Jobs girl, I was relieved when Jobs came back in the late 90s and brought Apple back from the brink of disaster, building it back into the successful company it is now.
He may not have always been the nicest guy, but he was a wizard and a visionary, and knew how to sell magic.
The world is poorer for his loss.
