End of an Era - Steve Jobs Resigns as Apple CEO

I was at THAT SuperBowl. I had WON tickets to the Superbowl on a local radio station. I still have my Apple seat cushion and two years later I owned my first Mac, an SE. I published three magazines on that SE, and have never looked back. 


I have followed Apple, Macs and the i-Family to the present day and am sending this message on my almost 1 yr old MacBook Pro 17. I’ve earned my living as a graphic designer on Macs and still do.


I just turned 60 this past May and am proud of it. Apple kept me young, thirsty for the next great thing, the next new technology, software, platform and an Apple Store in my backyard. 


Thanks, Steve, for your vision, your ability to change the world. You changed mine, and in the process you became one of the best friends I never met. You’ve prospered. So all that’s left for me to wish you is “Live long!”
