And the world is a little less "Insanely Great"

Mr. Jobs,
Your company, Apple, has touched the lives of people young and old, in all walks of life around the world. Your company has made a difference.

In my own life it was the "Mac Plus" that showed me where the future of my chosen industry (graphic design) would go. Between the no-name PC and the Mac Plus there was no choice for me then. There is no choice for me now. My graphical heavy lifting is done on a Mac. My entertainment is enjoyed via Mac. Daily communications performed using Apple devices.

I've been a firm believer in the company you created. I've watched the dark lows and the triumphant highs of your company. And in the end, you've done what other companies failed to do. You've done what other companies said couldn't be done (by Apple). You've made Apple (and it's products) household words and part of the general public mindset.

As the most inspirational CEO on the planet, your insight, vision & determination to see Apple succeed will be missed. Not only by your company but by those of us who are also inspired by your drive & attitude to succeed.

Thank you for your dedication and passion which is seen in every Apple product.
Thank you for opening the minds those who would've been afraid to even touch a computer.
Thank you for Apple.
Thank you!

Rest In Peace, Steve Jobs 1955-2011
