Jobs gave up his life for Apple, and his mind. Here's to the crazy ones...... http://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?project=Macintosh&story=Are_You_Gonna_Do_It.txt&showcomments=1#comments Our 11th year high school assignment was 1984(George Orwell) I had escaped the war and mayhem of Iranian Revolution & Iran_Iraq War. As a teenager, I used to collect my pocket money and build radio kits(solder the transistors, capacitors, etc... to the copper boards). At times I would paint and draw too. At night the light would go dark, since the Iraqi Migs were conducting a nightly bombing raid. The star studded sky became orange with the colur of Antaircraft guns! When I arrived in Ireland I was fascinated with my new found freedom(I had to endured the 4 years of Iranian revolution & war). When I saw the commercial for the Macintosh, I was so excited! I used to with the Apple II in our computer Laboratory (Dublin, Ireland). A few months later, I visited the Apple authorized retail store, I saw many folks in suits, some walking out with the shiny white boxes of Macintosh. The price tag was way beyond a budget of a 17 year old's pock money. At least , i had a chance to use the MacPaint on Demo model. From then, any chance I could get, I would run to a computer Laboratory, and work on MacPaint.. Many years ensued.. His passing was very hard form me. It me be to tears. I told this story at a gathering at work, the Day that Steve Jobs(R.I.P.) passed away. http://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?project=Macintosh&story=1984.txt&showcomments=1#comments @Mac Team : This one is really good . wish you could add more on Steve expression. http://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?project=Macintosh&story=Close_Encounters_of_the_Steve_Kind.txt&showcomments=1#comments Found this cool T-shirt that I think does a great job of honoring Steve Jobs. Plus, $2.00 of each sale goes to the American Cancer Check it out. http://www.utilityboardsupply.com/T-Shirts/Utility/Utility-iCon-T-Shirt I don't get anything for this, just like supporting his memory and supporting a valid cause. http://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?project=Macintosh&story=Real_Artists_Ship.txt&showcomments=1#comments Hello Andy, I am currently reading Steve Job's biography: many of your stories are briefly cited by Isaacson, but your original 'extended' versions are much more instructive indeed ! Thank you very much for your endeavor. Andy Cavallini, Italy http://www.gaia-matrix.com http://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?project=Macintosh&story=Revolution_in_the_Valley.txt&showcomments=1#comments While a Mac 128k was my first computer, its more than a dozen years since I've been a serious mac user but the Macbook Air and Lion lured me back. I was just telling a long-time mac fan friend how 4-finger swipe between desktops reminded me of Switcher. "Switcher?" he said - so off I went searching for a reference. Great article - great memories. Thanks! http://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?project=Macintosh&story=Switcher.txt&showcomments=1#comments Funny to see that at the time of this conversation, Steve was struggling with Sculley ver Apple control, thus having the worst time of his own life. After read his bio I cannot help myself thinking of how Andy was wrapped in Steve's reality distortion field without notice during this particular dinner. Steve was denying reality so hard, but at same time he was so fragile, that if, maybe, Andy stood up and confronting him, maybe the outcoming of this confrontation would make things differen for everybody... some how...
