Subject: Re: Steve Jobs -2011
I don't think there's any call for that sort of comment. I am no fan of
Apple's products or policies, but I am saddendd by the death of somebody
who had ideas and implemented them (and you can't claim that Apple's
products have not been a commercial success). We need more people who are
prepared to 'do things differently' IMHO.

Sure we need more people to design locked in closed overpriced platforms you
cannot service. People here complain about Intel/Microsoft but I think Jobs
was 100 time worse in his my way or the highway approach to computing.
Just been reported on the radio that Steve Jobs
has died (age 56).
He cheated Woz. One less SOB in the world.
