Really Aug 24th, 2011, Wednesday is a sad day as Steve Job resigns from his post. Ramesh Srivats tweets "imac, ipod, ipad, iphone, pixar - creating any one of those would have made anybody a LEGEND, creating all - must be GOD". Very true, indeed.
I never thought Apple is such a good company and i didn't even know that Apple's laptop is called Macbook. I had just heard about 'Macintosh' and not more than that until I bought my first Macbook which was again an accident. And a worthy ACCIDENT I would die for. I never, not even in my dreams, I thought I will not be using Microsoft Windows or so called PC. And last four years, I hardly remember me using MS Windows. Even if I use, I use MS windows for Mac version and not their parent brand. I really don't and didn't regret for missing MS windows, not even once. I have never looked back at Windows after purchasing my first macbook four years back. Thank you, Steve Jobs for such a wonderful product.
It has changed my life and so of many others in the world too. You have changed this world. I really doubt anyone could better this. Really tough job for Timothy Cook. I wish him, really, all the best in his handling of such an important succession the world is witnessing.
What I really loved is that, understanding Steve Jobs loves the number '24' very much just like me. No comparison but just a thought that passed after reading so many articles related to him in last two days. He was born on Feb 24 and I was born on Jan 24. He released first Mac128k on Jan 24, 1984. He released iphone some version also on the same day. And he finally retired on Aug 24, 2011. So many '24's in his life and so do also in my life. I love the number '24'. And there is so much of Indian connection too in his life. He had visited and stayed in India where he got converted to Buddhism. Thanks to Hare Krishna temple (I think it is ISKCON temple which he mentions) which fed him when he needed the most.
