But honestly, I don't think I care myself... I'm not an apple fan, so to me, he's really just another guy, but he happens to be rich.

He did do one thing, though I don't know if it's good or bad... and that's allow people to identify idiots easier. Look for an iphone and ask them a few question. ;D The answer comes out momentarily.

R.I.P :(

I'm no less caring than any super-wealthy person has to be in a world where billions are impoverished, so please don't insinuate that it is I who is cold.

I insinuated no such thing, but I don't think that should be a merit as to why you couldn't care less.

Jobs made computers not just for engineers but for the masses. Without the Macintosh computer, the personal computer would not exist in the same way as it does today.

I'm lost...... was he the one who pushed for that and/or make it work? I don't know too much on it, but I know he only worked for Apple back in the day and was fired or quit. It wasn't until recently that he became CEO.
