He followed through too.
If you sent Steve an email, he would often reply.

Can't speak for the iPhones and Macs, but boy I don't know what I would do without my iPod.

Not if your shit was broken he wouldn't. I tried it multiple times.
I'm sorry he's dead, but I think Steve Jobs had a lot to do with fucking America up. All these iPhones and $2500 computers 99% of the people that buy don't need.
I got 2005 powerbooks that were $2200 you can't do shit with.
Aloha!
Personally I love my iphone, remember the days when cell phones didn't exist? The only time you could get a hold someone was if they were at home to hear the phone ring to answer it, or you'd have to leave a message and wait a million years to hear back.
It's nice that everything is consolidated into one, iphone = cell phone, music player, internet access, gps navigation, and a million other shit into one. How could you possibly think that's a bad thing?

Walkman, I believe those came before the CD player? Or were changed to cd players after sometime?
I still remember putting songs into blank cds to play them on my cd player :')

i find it very inspiring to hear words from people who have achieved great thing, like Steve. the fundamentals are very basic and seem to be repeated everywhere...work hard, have a goal and don't give up...easier said then done!

Pil the problem with aiming for just 250k per year is that people who usually aim for that kind of money, they hardly make it and thats because they are not ambitious enough. Now, when you aim for one million bucks per year, you will certainly make that 250k per year, well of course other variables will influence you making or not making that kind of money.
250k per year is good money but you still have to think about your expenditures, now, when you are making over one million per year, you hardly rationalize, unless you buying really expensive stuff frequently.

"The next year, a Foxconn employee fell or jumped from an apartment building after losing an iPhone prototype. Over the next two years, at least 18 other Foxconn workers attempted suicide or fell from buildings in manners that suggested suicide attempts. In 2010, two years after the pilot program fell apart and after multiple suicide attempts, Foxconn created a dedicated mental health hotline and began offering free psychological counseling."
