Thank You Steve

Dear Steve:

There are a few things I didn’t have a chance to tell you before your death.        

And, thank you for the last few years and the quiet dignity and courage that you brought to to your disease and your death. You were an inspiration life and death.Thank you for my iphone…all five of them. There is no purchase I have ever made, not even the porche of my younger days that has delivered more usefulness in more ways. I do get that the iphone is the result of the effort of many but that it is what it is largely because of your unique genius.  My Ipad is too a cool tool.

 

Although anticipated your death hit me much harder than I expected. Much like John Lennon whose death was a surprise. I had thought that my reaction to John’s death has more to do with its suddenness. But now I realize that this feeling is one that is while public, but more personal, and one I reserve for cultural icons whose life work made my life better.

 

I read your biography since your death and get that you were far from perfect.  As it happen’s, neither am I.  I did not know you Steve. You made a difference, a big one and I thank you.

 

One other thing Steve.  I really do wish you had worked out your differences with Adobe and that my Iphone/Ipad processed Flash and other Adobe services.  Really!
