ever hear of hewlett -packard ? Do you believe that gore invented the internet ? I know you cannot live without an i-pad or an i-phone .Ever really look at the features ? When i got my "smartphone " it had more features then my friends i-phone .WOW so the new one is slimmer ,lighter and they brought the curve back .I dont know how i live without it .The main point is you all run in to get "the latest " so you can brag and have the same thing as your friends .I chose the best bang for my buck .Apple products are designed for people who cannot use a pc ,because you have to think a little .Same reason quickbooks was invented for small business and bookeeepers who cannot learn how to be an accountant .It tells you what to do .

OKAY, you are missing the point.... STEVE JOBS WAS AN INNOVATOR, AN INVENTOR, whether you like it or not he changed the world of technology. He may have not invented it per say, nobody but mother nature invented electricity, but someone figured out how to put it to use................. He took what was and made it better..............

I have an hp laptop, a pc I BUILT MYSELF FROM THE GROUND UP.. A canon camera, a samsung smart phone, an ipod touch, an original buzz, an lg flat screen tv, a brother printer, a bose radio..... I am not locked into one brand... I don't even own a sony anything.............. That is not the point.... The point is the man had A BRILLIANT MIND, and I for one appreciate that... I am sad in his passing... I don't care if you don't like his product, but a narrow mind is ugly imo... I love a mind that is not afraid to take that leap into the unknown to see if it will work. I am not a sheep that just goes w/the masses. I will not own a new pv just cuz it's the latest craze. And I loved Waylon Jennings. Wait he didn't invent music either, but he sure as the hell was a good songwriter/musician. AH ANOTHER CREATIVE MIND...

EDIT:
"I know you cannot live without an i-pad or an i-phone"
That is NOT cool. You don't know what have, or what I can or cannot live without. I don't own either... The only thing I can't live without are my daily cancer pills right now. Everything else is material.

I remember in my first computer class in junior high school we used comodores(spelling?) lol. When we got our first real computer lab my last year there everyone was oooing and ahhing over the mouse lol.

@uba... i remember thinking "what do i need that for "? lmao
I am so used to it NOW ,that when a bunch of execs came in from mass with their laptops ( they didnt carry mice ) i had to use one and absolutely cannot control it with the pad alone ..what a dork i am ....i had to attach a mouse in order to go thru and audit a spreadsheet :) they laughed alot .But to be fair ,when youre on the road youre used to just scrolliing around .I sat at a desk .

You young wippersnappers...lol. My Senior year in High School we had an elective called "Programming Computers"..I took it & there is a pic of me in the yearbook holding what looks like a telephone switchboard....all these wires everywhere! Connect the red wire to hole 3 from the left in row 1 & the other end to hole 24 on the right row 14...HUH???????
And the entire computer was the size of an 18 cu.ft. refrigerator. Remember the movie War Games? Yup like that!
Our first home computer was a Mac Performer 450 ..my oldest daughter was about 11.
I fell in love with it once my kids taught me how to use it :)
I don't care who stole what from who or when, home computers changed our lives and Steve Jobs tho not alone had a good deal to do with how we communicate today.
Someone tweeted to a news program this morning-----"isad".

~The End~

p.s. you dont know me either and to call me narrow minded when you dont know ME ,,AS YOU SAID ...is wrong .This thread had already moved on to something lighter ....don't continue this please .....plenty of people are slamming each other on facebook and other forums.You can't expect all to worship at your church or like your music ,or your opinions or your art and when i posted here i knew that fact.I reread my post and do not see anything slamming at you personally .I asked about HP because your post tended to be really one sided .Your op ,your entitled to it .Get off my case .

I thought this thread was meant to be a wake. At least, that's what the OP said she meant it to be.

I don't own an i-anything. A man, a most gifted man, a human being who suffered greatly, has died. Our personal opinions of him are beside the point right now.

Can we all please refrain from pissing on his grave?

Thank you.
