Steve Jobs tribute

A tribute to Steve Jobs. I myself am a late admirer of Jobs and Apple. Although my first computer was an Apple IIe, my computer world later focused on Windows and PCs, starting with MS-DOS. But when I was at the University of Texas, the Macintosh was brand new. In fact it was less than a year old. Near the dorm was an Apple store in a campus building. Of course it was not called that, but they were selling the first Macs to kids who lived on campus. I walked in one day just to see what was going on, and I was curious about what Macs were like. The place was packed. Macs were flying out the door like hotcakes. Unbelievable. A joke then was that a Mac was a black-and-white TV in a shoe box.

Most computer labs on campus consisted of terminals connected to mainframe and mini-computers. The personal computer revolution was underway, but still in its early stages.

Althouse on Jobs

Ann Althouse, a user of Macs, has a good post on Steve Jobs. I like this quote:
Mr. Jobs’s own research and intuition, not focus groups, were his guide. When asked what market research went into the iPad, Mr. Jobs replied: “None. It’s not the consumers’ job to know what they want.”
That is so true. Focus groups are a waste of time.

Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs of Apple Computer still looks frail. No one knows how much longer he will remain in charge. Apple has put out many marvelous products. Where would the company be without Jobs?
