This Sunday, in remembrance of Steve Jobs, let us all pause for a few moments of silence ...........
The above photo was taken outside the Apple Store in Friendly Center last night, at closing time. The store provided post it notes and Sharpies; employees and customers wrote messages. A few people brought bouquets. Several people brought fresh apples; many stopped by to take pictures. The notes were touching. One was a heart with a bite out of it. Also memorable is the Apple logo with the bite transformed into a silhouette of Jobs. The genius behind that logo is a 19 year old guy from Hong Kong.
From the aesthetic to the functionality to the transformative nature of the Apple products, Jobs helped transform the way we interact with technology. He taught us that computers are bicycles for the mind. Jobs learned at a very early age that life is short and precious. We're glad to have an Apple Store in Greensboro and equally glad that Jobs is being remembered by patrons. Have a great Sunday dear readers.
Yes, rest in peace, and thanks for the fab technology...

By all accounts, Jobs was difficult and demanding, but what a visionary!
We are all Mac, all the time at Chez la Vache:
2 iMacs, an elderly iBook G4, a MacBook Air, 2 iPhones, an iPod, AirPort Express and a Time Capsule.
We've never owned a non-Mac computer.
