Although Steve Jobs will be sorely missed, the concepts that he implanted into the information technology field will serve as his legacy long after he, and we, have expired . . . as I type this posting on an iPad.

Like Mr. Rumelhart, my very first computer was an Apple IIc that I purchased in the post exchange of Harvey Barracks in Kitzingen, Germany in 1984.

The last Apple computer I used I think was the Apple IIc (or was it a IIe?) that was, iirc, in the foyer of the Principal's office in the Junior High when I was going to school here.  Maybe it was at the High School.  It's been too long ago.
