Eternal Flame
It's hard to think of anything to say. I mean, think where we'd be without Jobs: boring beige boxes using a kludgy CLI or a stone-age GUI, clunky flip-phones, and strangely shaped MP3 players that could hold a couple dozen songs. These were the states of several types of computing devices before Apple waded in, led by Jobs and his vision of insane greatness. Without Jobs' vision, I expect all of these devices would have advanced, but would not have been particularly fun to use, i.e.: really fast boring beige boxes, cell phones with even more buttons!, and increasingly cryptic MP3 players that could hold hundreds of songs. Yes, the man does deserve our gratitude, and a place in our memories.
