Tribute To An Icon

Wow, it’s hard to imagine Steve Jobs is no longer with us in physical form, but then again, perhaps his greatest contribution to the world was his SPIRIT. A true Icon in every sense of the word, Steve Jobs literally transformed the world with so many of his and other’s inventions. Although a businessman, there was something artistic in everything he did. What a VISIONARY! I can say, I share at least two things in common with Steve Jobs. I love the MAC as he did, and we were both born under the zodiac as Pisceans. I will miss him.

I fell in love with Apple and Apple products almost from the company’s very start. It was the Macintosh that got me. I used to work in the accounting departments for corporations using PC’s and remembered, every time you had a question about how to use the computer, you had to consult the manual. It just didn’t seem right! It was 1989 when I got my first computer to do accounting for my bookkeeping clients under my startup company, AP Consulting. While the accounting world was 99% exclusively PC-DOS based, I bought a MAC! So you see, I’ve been a rebel for a long time! Me and Steve go way back! There were only about four accounting programs available for the MAC. But that made me no never mind; I was not spending my money on a PC with or without Windows! I bought and sold so many of them, I stopped counting. My friends would tell me I was Apple’s greatest salesman, and the reason they bought MAC. Steve, you owe me! I was so worried and concerned when Jobs was forced out of his own company and it appeared Apple would go the way of the dinosaur. Bill Gates and IBM must have been licking their chops, because truly Apple was on the ropes. Can you imagine a world without the Apple products we have today? Boring!

The demise of Apple was not to be. For the screen was set for the reemergence of Steve “The Visionary” Jobs to stage his comeback and tell the world to Think Different. No wonder some astrologers refer to Pisces as the comeback kid. Jobs to the rescue, and pulled Apple out, and all the way up over the top to be the second most valued company of today. Only Exxon Mobile has a greater value. Can you believe that! If you haven’t seen the footage of The Apple Company celebrating the life of Steve Jobs, where Apple’s CEO, Tim Cook speaks eloquently and recording artists Norma Jones and Cold Play give Heart-felt and Outstanding performances, here’s your chance: Celebrating Steve.

As a tribute to Steve Jobs, I’ve decided to buy an iPhone 4S and or an iPad and purchase the Steve Job’s biography via eBooks written by Walter Issacson and read it via my new iPhone or iPad… I know, I know, I would have done this anyway. But hey, now I have extra motivation, and I can always say Steve Jobs influenced me, and it wouldn’t all be untrue… Just my way of saying how much I admire Steve Jobs…
