This is a big lost. Steve Jobs was a visionary as was Bill Gates in my opinion. Steve Jobs and more specifically its product APPLE 2 is the reason why I made an enjoyable career as a computer engineer. In 1978 I was a senior in high school with long hair and no clue about what I wanted to do with my life. I thought that university was not for me. I had no interest in any thing. Then my father bought an APPLE 2 with no specific reason other than being very interested in this new concept of personal computer. That was an epiphany for me. This thing really bewitched me. I spent hours and hours working on it. I started by learning the interpreted BASIC language on it and later on many other compiled languages. Very soon I started writing pretty complex programs. Within 6 months I was writing and selling my programs like for example client file management programs for doctor offices or parts stock management programs for hardware stores etc... Suddenly I knew what I wanted to do in my life and that led me to eventually do a master in computer science. I some way I owe him (and my father of course) a lot. He will be missed.
