I've always been a fan of Steve Jobs - personally and professionally - long before I met him in person some 20 years ago.
He created TWO major revolutions that changed the world. (Three if you talk generational) The first PERSONAL computer that was truly personal The first accessible graphical interface computer that spawned what we all use today And the personal device revolution that has transformed the world in just a few very short years. Not to mention PIXAR I am reminded of a speech Dr. Benjamin Spock made about the children of the 60's and 70's being HIS children If so, the the children of the 80's through today are Steve Job's children.
