The iPad in my opinion is the greatest invention of Steve's for the older generation.
With the zoom feature, when your eyesight is a problem that fixes it.
Steve, you were a special gift sent from above for all of us to borrow for a short time. We are so grateful that we were here to share this time with you.
The iPad 50th Wedding Anniversary gift for my husband is keeping him very busy until we go "Wow"! Steve, we are really looking forward to the "Wow" times with you! Enjoy them in the meantime.

I am so impress by the details of his life. He was an adopted child. And these parents helped make him to be who he was. A tribute to all adopted people, and to those that gave him up for adoption.
"You could not make up a better story." R.I.P Steve Jobs. And my deepest Sympathy to All his Family and Friends.

St Jobs eve for ever. Thanks steve for jobs you created, for your success of transforming ideas in products like the mystery of nature transforming cells in Apple. We will keep in memory the streamline of graphics, the elegant style of finger touch technology through the navigation wheel, the quality of audio in music,the access of geant music stores and your talent of marketing.
Thanks also for the exemple you give in your life : simplicity of your image, respect of environnment and the courage of personal ideas.

Full Sail University introduced me to Steve Jobs and the Mac Book Pro. An experience of epic growth and communication, pushed out of my comfort zone and challenged to learn new ideas concepts.
Steve Jobs left his foot prints in the sand to explore the clouds in the sky. A beacon light for the 21st century and beyond.

The first time I ever saw a Mac was 1994, in the California State Fullerton University book store. (I had learned how to use a computer on a PC and experienced a rather tense relationship with it.) This Mac laptop was sitting there, open and turned on. I took one look at it and thought, "This is it." I've been a Mac person ever since.
Now, 17 years later, I have my brand new desktop iMac. When I first saw this new iMac I thought, "Finally, someone has a created a computer for me!" - An"all-in-one" computer (with the tower streamlined in with the monitor). This is the only computer I have ever owned that I wake up in the morning and say (literally), "I love you" to!
Steve Jobs, you will be greatly missed.
Sincerely,
Debra McManus

I worked at the Apple Campbell,California site for Adia a temp agency in the early 90's. I worked in purchasing and noticed the atmosphere was so relaxed and my coworkers were so intelligent and engaging. Unfortunately I was a temp and my time was up. I thank Apple for helping me provide an income for my family. You are still we us Steve. Thank you.

like Job in the bible, while he gave everything to the people of the world, obedience played a key role in his existence here on earth. God took everything from him; for he rests in peace now at the right hand of God the Father. For his name was Job(s). Thank you for his talents and gifts.

We love and miss you, Steve. My husband an I discovered the news of your death on an iPhone, at church, one Wednesday evening. I pray this was a sign from God that you found salvation. I would love to meet you in God's Kingdom. I have been a big fan of Apple since the 80s. And a vegetarian to boot. I wish Apple to continue to fulfill your wishes. You will always be with us and remain special.

I still get teary-eyed when I'm reminded of Steve Jobs' all-too-untimely passing. He was my idol. Also a child of the 60's, I could identify with him in many respects. We "grew up" in a time of challenge and change. Steve chose Life 101 over more "conventional" curricula, set his sights accordingly, and aimed for the stars. He was a truly remarkable man. He gave so much to so many. He will not be forgotten. He may be gone, but only from our sight. You've changed the world in so many positive ways, Steve, with your vision, brilliant mind, and larger-than-life heart. Thank you.

We were very fortunate to get to meet Steve only once. We will never forget that day because it was the day that Vice President Al Gore was introduced to the stockholders at an Apple Stockholders meeting. We were able to meet Mr Gore as well that day. That memory will live with us forever. Thank You Steve for your genius!

I bought my first MAC around 1982. As I remember it was 1 megabite. I upped the models until this G4 (desk top and laptop) ...it's outdated butstill does an amazing job for its age. (Me too at 79). I used to talk to my Macs...e.g Goodnight Mac...Good morning Mac (and longer conversations). Even though I can't afford a new Mac, a PC is out of the question. Thank you Steve for years of enjoyment (and employment) had my own PR and publishing business...until MI went down the tubes. I feel as if I have lost a good friend.

The entire world has suffered a tremendous loss with the passing of Steve Jobs. He was a true genius who altered our communication world in such an immense way and we have been forever changed. He died at a relatively young age but I think the God and his Angels felt he had accomplished what he was put on this earth to do and it was time for him to travel back to Heaven. My condolences to his wife and children, may God give you strength to handle the loss of your loved one ...Rest in Peace Steve!

October 5 -- A sad day for the world, the future. Why do I cry for this man that I've never met? But, yet, I have met him. Because in every invention, every MacBook I've purchased, every iPhone I've purchased, every song or video I've downloaded from iTunes, every heart-felt debate I've had with the IT guy/gal who is Microsoft headstrong, Steve Jobs has come into my life, into my productive work environment, into my heart. A visionary leaves us to only wonder what the next great thing we "need" is :)
October 14 -- My new 4S in hand ... my sadness is profound beyond anything I can possibly explain to my friend, my family. A man I've never met ... yet I'm mourning so deeply. RIP Steve Jobs. I miss you already.

Hello, My name is Janet Woodville. I've always wondered what Apple Inc. and it's products were all about. The past few months I've been looking deeply into the apple products. Answering my questions on what makes all these products so popular. Now I know why. Next year I am going to get an i Pad 2 and an iPhone4S. my very first Apple products. i do love the new and improved stuff now that I know more about the products. I also want to get the new iPod nano 6th generation. I learned what it's features are and it's great. 16gig on that one. Steve Jobs will missed very much. I learned about Steve Jobs through YouTube. Therefore learned that he was CEO of all Apple. He sure improved a lot on all of the products too. May God bless and be with all his friends and Family.

Even knowing this day would eventually come, it has been a very difficult reality to face that Steve has transitioned on and away from this world of ours. I wake up every day with him on my mind and have difficulty knowing he isn't here with us any more.
I still remember the first time I ever hears of Apple Computer and it was from Steve's Admin Assistant back in the late 70's, who told me that she worked for a cool new company that was going to be really, really big. I remember saying "what a cute name for a company."
I am typing this on my G4 Dual-Processor Mac that I purchased in 2003, which is still operating perfectly. Steve's relentless drive to make elegant, innovative, and high-quality products is what made me forever abandon any thought of owning a PC again. My first computer was a Mac LC back in 1991. Years later I purchased a Dell. Big mistake. Within a couple of years I would have liked to have thrown that out of the window like Steve threw the dot matrix printer out of his. I was so happy on October 24, 2003 to get in line outside the Palo Alto Apple Store when OS 10.3 was released. And when I walked out with my whole new set up there was an aisle created by two rows of Apple employees cheering everyone who walked out with their new purchases. I stood in line at the check out stand at 11 pm and talked with others who were so happy to be an Apple customer. Once you own a Mac, you never go back.
I never met Steve personally but over the years watched him in awe and developed a huge respect for him and his passion.
Thanks Steve, for all you've given us.
My sincere condolences go out to his family. I hope the world mourning your loss provides at least some comfort for you in your grief.

iLove my Apple products and feel deeply saddened by the loss of Steve Jobs. Not only was he a maverick within the computer industry, but also an inspiration to millions of people worldwide. Steve was a visionary who showed us, first and foremost, that we can manifest our visions if we believe in them, but he also must have recognized the potential power of his manifestations - that his products would help to bring people together in ways never imagined before now.
RIP, Steve, and may your light shine on forever.

I remember getting out first Macintosh in 1994. It was packed with 80mb of RAM. WOw! I stayed up nights learning Photoshop 2.0, Quark, Illustrator...
When there was a glitch I fell asleep with it on my mind, by early morning I would wake up running to the Mac with a solution.
It was a time of inspiration and exploration of something I didn't know existed. My creative self. Through the Mac I found what I loved doing and still create in Photoshop and illustrator to this day.
Men with the passion and vision of Steve Jobs are few and far between. I feel fortunate that I walked the earth with Steve and saw the revolution of the computer thanks largely to him.
I feel that the world has been cheated of 20 more years of innovation, I am angry and sad and feel compassion for his family and the people that knew him.
My condolences go out to his wife and children. Steve will live on in his innovations and will be remembered for generations to come. Rest in Peace.

What a true visionary that was lost in Steve Jobs. His wonderful mind helped bring so many truely awesome gadgets into our lives. My deepest sympathy goes out to the Jobs and Apple family. **My favorite quote from Steve Jobs was at Stanford in '05, "Your Time is Limited, don't waste it living someone else's life."

Steve, you made us all proud of you and your accomplishments and so very proud you did it as an American. We're hearing so much negative about ourselves and our country, our elected officials are the sickest of the sick, and there was you, a bright, shiny, beacon - always out there on the horizon, I thank you and appreciated who you were.

I sent Steve an email once because I was not satisfied by Apple customer service. His office called me on his behalf and rectified my problem immediately. I was pleasantly astonished that a man with such a large company would take the time out to see that I was helped.
Thanks Steve, for your vision, your passion and your time.

Steve, The world was forever changed by your visions, your drive, and your inspiration. whether it was you giving us the best keynote presentations every time to developing, innovating new products to better our own life's you took an Apple and made apple pie you took a look at the current products and technology and said it's nice, "but" what can we do to make it even better. Just think of what the imac, ipod, iphone, and now Ipad has done to the world. I've been a huge Apple fan for many many years and even though I haven't always agreed with some of the decisions at first but then later I saw why it was done. I own a small business out of my home, without Steve's and Apple's visions, concepts and products, my business would not exist. Steve will be missed world wide, he has put the right pieces together for this company to succeed for many years to come. We were very lucky to have a man of his stature in our lifetime. There will never be another Steve Jobs. He battled this Illness for eight years and he could have just gave up eight years ago but he didn't be fought and fought and still remained focussed on the task at hand. Amazing
STEVE JOBS R.I.P you will Forever will be missed ♡
Sincerely,

My thoughts and prayers are with the family of Steve Jobs'. A man who was devoted to his beloved wife and children.
A brillant man that certainly loved his passion for technology, and shared it with the world. He pursued his dream, and look at the outcome - success. A man that had a desire, goal and mission, and showed the world his avenue of innovation. And, not to mention, he always had a smile on his face with integrity!
He resides in his heavenly home now, and will never be forgotten - he lives.
God Bless.

Thank you Steve for making learning fun for all the special education students I taught. I was not good at computers, none of us where, but you found a way to make it so simple for us to use them that they became part of our classrooms and part of our lives forever. I am forever grateful for the way you wanted technology to be used in education. It has helped so many over the years...thank you..we will miss you.

Because of Steve Jobs, I am a better person. We are a better world. My aging brain has been consistently stimulated and thrills to the opening and practicing of creative challenges that each new Apple product brings. I am surprised at how much his death affected me, he was the biggest game changer I can remember. His Stanford speech will be a point of reference for the rest of my life.

You have lived a life that confirms that nothing great has ever been accomplished without passion. To have watched the evolution of your passion being made manifest in those things that have changed all of our lives is to have reveled in the opportunity to feel and fall in love with the possibilities of the imagination. We thank you for your unparalleled imagination and - most of all - your bottomless passion.
May peace be upon you.
