My thoughts:
I have been a fan of Apple since I discovered the Apple logo puzzle game, Baileys Book house and Millies Math house,which I loved.Well I was 6/7 years old,so aesthetically pleasing graphics and a software package which included talking animals worked it's magic on me.
Honestly,I admire Steve Jobs for creating such an amazing brand. Due to this he will be known as a legend for many generations to come,as his passion for technology made the world a better place.
