I see no need for that.

There's only one person posting in this thread taking it in that direction.

Let me finish these beers.   [drink]

Let's go ahead and close this one down before it gets any worse, shall we?

There hasn't been any name calling or anger towards any member, just a debate that rests on opinion. Oh, and a few personal digs towards the person posting in that direction. Which were kind of unnecessary considering none were made, by me, towards anyone here.

Either way, despite my personal views and opinions on where humanitarian recognition should lay, I hope all of you will continue to help out with answers to questions I post about bikes.

I didn't know this thread was solely for mourning, its title is Steve Jobs.


I just think it's funny how there's a thread about Steve Jobs and not a thread about Derrick Bell, a man who made extraordinary accomplishments in his own field as well as other fields and who also dedicated his time and life, not money, to the betterment of humanity and how we interact with other people not electronic devices.

By the way, he also died on October 5th, 2011 but somehow was overshadowed.

It is indeed a shame Derrick Bell's passing received little attention.  I guess legal accomplishment is trumped by technology.  This thread is about the passing of Steve Jobs though.

My unnecessary post removed. Just my devalued two cents. Apologies extended. [bacon] Over and out.
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

Being involved with and exposed to high tech since Heathkit, Trash-80s, the dawn of the PC era of the late 70s & early 80s, and having Macs since the 128K/MacWrite/MacPaint/MacDraw days, Apple could only be where it is because of Steve. Considering Apple's dimmer days of the mid 90s and to take it to the top in market value over Exxon: Wow.

The world has lost a great entrepreneur. RIP Steve.
