Jobs and Apple not only deeply shaped my career, but also my son's path as well.
I bought an Apple II+ with my first Summer's earnings as an undergraduate lab assistant in organic chemistry in the very early 80's. Spent winter break writing a printer driver in Apple 6502 code so I could plot molecular orbitals. Skipped the first Macs when they came out, but returned to Apple when the Performa was popular. I may have been the first to announce on this list that OS X would be based on unix ... and I enthusiastically got a copy as soon as I could get my hands on it. It's true there will never be another Jobs, but I fully expect more great surprises ... the universe is only just getting started. Richard
