So long Steve ..

> I first learned programming on an Apple II. Can still remember almost the entirety of what I wrote, how it felt to be opening a door onto infinite wonders.

Me too .. would go to the local Computer Age shop after school, 1979 - 1980'ish, and sit down for two hours of computing time.  Got my first floppy disc so I could save the work, carried it with me everywhere, was always ready to demo my software if I saw an Apple ][ around .. ;)

> Thanks, Steve, for that. And later, for introducing aesthetics and extreme quality into a world where everyone thought that mere excellence was enough.

He was a superlative example of the modern human being.
