he never changed his vision.
He had vision beyond most people's comprehension.

No sh!t He turned my life from fun in the saddle to what the heck is this guy up to now! Finding myself in the black hole to technology. I think I hate the guy. :chuckle:
Not really. Just got me away from the farms and ranches. My saddle turned into a freaken swivel chair at a desk and this little gadget called a MOUSE.
Now I"m fat old and dumpy.
Yeah................ I do tip my hat to him. His passing leaves a real big void now. At least for me. It has been a good ride. :'(

You are typing on a window and your see icons on your computer. Job's invented all those. When the easy to use operating system took off Bill Gates ripped off the same idea. WHen you had cascading window... Gates ripped off the idea.
The iphone... Look at the followers? Windows 7 Phone heck it took a page right out of the iphone.
Nope, not even close. This is a common myth
The first GUI (Graphical User Interface) was PARC, developed by Xerox 20 years before Mac or Windows existed. All three Mac, Windows, and Unix took their idea and ran with it.

Steve Jobs was a leader with vision who did great things BUT let us not forget about those who made the ultimate sacrifice...like PVT Chen or 1st Sgt Siercks or PO1 Nelsen or.... Without their sacrifice and those before them Steve wouldn't have been able to do the things he did.
I don't know them by name but I know others. I won't forget.
It has been a real bitter pill too in that these dweebs and geeks were off creating the real "Revenge of the Nirds"
To all of our fallen. :salute:

As good as a visionary/business man Jobs was, he did not invent any of those items, the engineers at Apple did.
This. He had the vision, his people at Apple made it come true. He was not an inventor in the true sense of the word.
Let us not forget how MS and Bill Gates bailed him out in the early 2000's.

If you have ever tried to setup a NAS drive for home server integration, you soon realize how horrible most backup and fileshare software is. Then hook up an Airport and wallah! Every Apple product, Iphone, Ipad, Itouch, Mac, and any non-mac product running Airplay gets a little pop-up saying your are connected. Now with no setup you can play any video, picture, movie you want from any of the above mentioned items on your TV.
As much as I hate to say it, no Windows or Linux integration can't even come close to that.
