Steve Jobs was many things to many people. He liberated the innovations of XEROX PARC and brought them to the masses through yet more innovation. He brought style together with technology and forged an unending bond between the two. Apple has revolutionized the world multiple times over 3 decades under his leadership, and proved that it was his leadership that made the difference when the company almost failed after his leaving. On and on….
… but for me, I will also remember him most of all, for NeXT.
Rest in peace Steve. We’ll miss you. Thanks for leaving the world with a dominant OS that is UNIX based on laptops that “just work”.
I’m proud to be able say I had a NeXT color slab, got to be a little sliver of that legacy.
And because he founded NeXT, the CERN’s Tim Berners Lee was able to create the first HTTP web server… So Jobs is at the origins of the internet as we know it…

I never got the chance to try NeXT computer but I know since its Steve Jobs, I’m confident that it’s the best. It’s so sad that he died already, but I’m sure his works will remain in our hearts and minds.

I am grateful to say that I had a plate NeXT blush, a small fragment that is older.

Hi would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using?
Is hard for me to understand why people like him are more appreciated and respected after they die, than durring their lives. This is really sad and actually makes me angry..
