I’m not a big fan of today’s Apple, but Steve Jobs had an an enormous influence on my life. My first computer was an Apple IIe, he was presenting the NeXT workstation when I visited the University I ended up attending, I was an intern and Campus Consultant for NeXT in the 90′s, and the Macintosh set me on a path to Computer Science. I even wrote a paper about him in college.
He is regarded as a minimalist, from his trademark black turtleneck and jeans, to this photo of his home in 1982, to his design philosophy.
However, what impressed me most was his lack of cynicism; he was abrasive and downright mean at times, but he was always sincere in creating something great. Goodbye, Steve.
Hi, can you go a little deep in the things you don’t like about apple now days?. It would be great if you explain what did you like about apple in the early 90′s that doesn’t apply to the current company.
I’m really interested in knowing your input on the subject…
Thanks, regards from Venezuela.
