Thank You Mr. Jobs

As you have heard by now, legendary Apple founder/CEO Steve Jobs has officially retired. What can one say other than Thank You. Thank You for making my life so much better. I cannot imagine where I or the rest of the world would be without your knowledge and forethought on such amazing computers, inexpensive software and innovated products.

I have personally owned three Mac computers in the last decade and I have have nothing to say but wonderful things about them. They are simple to use and they are extremely reliable. I grew up with them going through school and now use them at work. I don't recall ever having a virus or an issue that couldn't be easily figured out.

Your software has changed the face of many industries, you have been able to offer them at fair prices and now we don't even have to wait for them in the mail, we can just download them from your App store. iTunes has revolutionized the music industry and pair it with an iPod and you have digital music at your disposal.

Final Cut Pro has been offered to video editors at a real affordable price and has given everyone from the pros to the beginners enough tools to make great things happen in the video world.

Although they have been out less than two years, iPads have quickly become the tablet of choice. The iPhone has become the phone that all other phones are compared to. More and more apps and software are being invented daily for these products, making using them that much more enjoyable.

If you haven't switched to a Mac computer, what are you waiting for, you will be glad you did?

You co-founded Apple in your parent's garage and now its one of the most successful companies in the world. Mr. Jobs, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You for everything that you have done.

  1. Dusty,

    You captured the essence of Steve Jobs well. His vision of technology has impacted everyone. Macs were the computer choice of schools for many years because they did not obtain viruses. Having that smiling computer appear when signing on gave you confidence that your computer was running effectively. Now with the Dell I have at school, I often wonder if the computer is running smoothly. I do miss that smiling face. Thank you for giving Steve Jobs accolades for changing technology to improve our world.

  2. Dustin,

    Steve jobs is a very incredible individual. I love Apple as well. I am the proud owner of just about every mac product there is so I am with you on the whole Apple is the best viewpoint. What Apple has overcome in the 90's to now being larger than Microsoft is an impressive accomplishment. I don't want to give Steve Jobs all the credit though. At Apple they have an impressive team. Everyone in that team understands marketing like the back of their hand. They know how to make products sell. It is the reason why they only need ONE cell phone vs. many different versions. Steve Jobs is/was the visionary that lead the team and that is an incredible accomplishment.

  3. Let me first start off by saying Steve Jobs is an innovator. Obviously something we already knew, but I needed to give credit where credit was due. Although I have never owned a Mac, I cannot wait to get my hands on one. Valley City has provided my computer for the last three years so I just stick with that. When I decide to grow up and get a real job I will definitely be purchasing one of Steve’s innovation machines. Thank you Steve Jobs! Great post Dusty!
