Steven Paul Jobs February 24, 1955 – October 5, 2011

[artificer]

I have had the honor of working at Apple twice in my career. Saw the man on campus several times, and shared a brief (and quiet) elevator ride with him.

He took a company that fired him, a company bereft of a vision or plan, and in just 15 years revolutionized personal technology, how we listen to music, how we share our lives with each other.

And in the process brought Apple from bankruptcy to having more cash than THE FEDERAL RESERVE.

Well done, Mr. Jobs, and godspeed to you and your family.

Hmm... now I gotta find a tartan with six colors...

Too true.

BTW: I still kick myself that I didn't buy Apple at $3.33/share when I had the chance in the late 90's right when they brought Jobs back.

Without Mr Jobs at the helm, it might only take a couple of years to get back down to that share price...

I guess the tablet issue with Samsung will be very telling...
