Machines

Steve Jobs and Apple changed computers from being machines for work to machines for fun, machines for art, machines for music, machines for education, machines for communication between friends and strangers, machines that look good.
"If Apple becomes a place where computers are a commodity item, where the romance is gone, and where people forget that computers are the most incredible invention that man has ever invented, I'll feel I have lost Apple. But if I'm a million miles away, and all those people still feel those things...then I will feel that my genes are still there."- Steve Jobs

sticky notepads with such thoughtful comments! I saw 3 teenage girls have written the
following on the note pad " Thank you i for improving my social life" amazing individual! ~V
