Steve, thank you for daring to realize your dreams !! Rest in peace.

I asked my parents to buy me the first Mac 128 the year it was released.
Years later, I've started again to buy Macs with OSX. And other Apple devices too.
So Apple's way of designing devices (should I call it philosophy ?) has been part of my life for many years.

Today I'm sad. I don't know you personally, Steve. I've never met you. So I should not be personally affected by your death.
But in the same time, it seems to me I know you so well, not your personal life but your way of thinking, designing, building things ... above all the extreme demand for your work that can be seen on Apple products and that reflected on your staff.

I'm sad because people like you, Steve, are so rare.
Today the World has lost one of those rare people who think they have so few things to loose that they can have to try the impossible, whatever the price, especially for themselves.

You have been, and will continue to be, an example for a lot of people.

Steve, thank you for daring to realize your dreams !!
Rest in peace.
