Not a fan of apple at all but...RIP Steve Jobs, you changed computing and then you changed computing again and even though I found apple computers to be overpriced and overhyped it was your vision with the help of Steve Wozniack that helped with the following...
Bringing Computers into Classrooms(Had Apple II+, IIe, IIGS, and Macintoshs when I went to school)
Bringing computers into the home(an handed down Apple IIC was my first computer that I received back in the early 90s-Hey it was free and computers were upwards of $3000 dollars)
Ushering in an era that literally changed history.
Computers were a hobby device before Apple and while Apple never really had a foothold in the business world(while you can say Desktop publishing and Art design were revolutionized by Apple, I'd have to say that they technically followed Amiga Computers until Commodore made them go belly up) they had more of an impact in my life growing up.
I'm not a fan of Apple and that is because the fact they charge twice what a computer is worth for the same hardware as a PC, and because the IPod was notoriously unreliable when I was a service technician but for a time they were truely different up until the Power Mac G5 and that niche they gave was something that was the last of a dying breed back from the 1980s. Think Atari computers, think Amiga, Commodore, Tandy and all the platforms back from the 1980s...and then think about Apple computers and how they were truely revolutionary(Only Amiga could compete with them on a graphics and interface level). I don't like what Apple has became but looking back at them and Steve Jobs' legacy, one can look at them with Rose colored sunglasses.
