... when She sees it, Steve's already hard at work redesigning the Universe to be more user-friendly. Sure the angels working with him have only just begun to grumble, but trust me ... when he's finished, the new interface is gonna be totally awesome. *smile*

We're going to miss you, Steve. You had vision, a fierce commitment to excellence and simplicity, and a vocabulary of expletives that would make a fleet of sailors blush. But you brought the world a lot closer to insanely great than any one person had a right to, and the cutting edge is going to be a lot less sharp now that you're gone.

I can't think of a better epitaph than this ... the text of an ad from years ago. It was originally meant to define Apple, but it wound up applying to Steve all too well.

"Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round heads in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status-quo. You can quote them. Disagree with them. Glorify, or vilify them. But the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world
are the ones who do."

Thank you, Mr. Jobs. *hugs* Now that you're gone, I guess the least the rest of us can do is keep on working to change the world without you. I promise you we'll do our best.
