Steve Jobs
>1972: Jobs enrolls at Reed College in
Portland, Oregon, but drops out after a
semester.
>1980 – Apple goes public, raising $110
million in one of the biggest initial public
offerings to date.
>1979: Jobs visits Xerox Palo Alto
Research Center, or PARC, and is inspired
by a computer with a graphical user
interface.
>1986: Jobs starts Next Inc., a new
computer company making high-end
machines for universities. He also buys
Pixar from "Star Wars" creator George
Lucas for $10 million.
>1996: Apple announces plans to buy Next
for $430 million for the operating system
Jobs' team developed.
2001: The first iPod goes on sale, as do
computers with OS X, the modern Mac
operating system based on Next software.
Apple also releases iTunes software.

OS X- a series of Unix-based graphical

interface operating systems developed,
marketed, and sold by Apple Inc.
 >iMac - In '98, Apple introduced the iMac,
a Macintosh computer with translucent
neon colored casings, rounded corners,
and a community of Apple lovers (I'm pretty
sure that came standard with it, same as
the old Saturn cars).  The iMac also
marked the beginning of a new golden age
at Apple.

iPod - A tablet computer--brilliant!  Smaller and less

useful than a laptop (or "notebook"), yet more useful
for some functions than a Smartphone, a lot of people
bet against the iPod success.  Those people were way
wrong.

Jobs wasn't just a savvy businessman, he was a
visionary who made it his mission to humanize
personal computing, rewriting the rules of user
experience design, hardware design and software
design. His actions reverberated across industry
lines
My favorite things in life don't
cost any money. It's really clear
that the most precious resource
we all have is time.
Design is a funny word. Some
people think design means how
it looks.

But of course, if you dig deeper,

it's really how it works.
“Being the richest
man in the
cemetery doesn’t
matter to me”

Going to bed at
night saying
we’ve done
something
wonderful… that’s
what matters to
me.”
He shall be miss.
