[Hidden-tech] RIP, Steve Jobs

[Shel Horowitz]

I've been an Apple user since I got my first Mac in 1984. One of his 
greatest contributions was to make computers much more accessible to 
non-geeks. It would have been a lot longer learning curve on a 
pre-windows IBM PC or even an Apple II. MacWrite 1.0 and WYSIWYG 
completely revolutionized the way I wrote resumes, which were my 
major service line at the time (and which I still do, 
occasionally)--plus made it much easier to develop template 
documents, etc.

Four of my eight books started as earlier books. In 1979, I turned in 
the MS for my first book, which was a co-authored rewrite of a much 
older book--with pieces of the original book spliced into my typed 
out pages with scissors and tape.

The other three were all upgraded from books I'd written earlier 
after getting a computer (one of them on that original 1984 machine)l 
it was SO much easier!

Thank you, Steve Jobs, for the many innovations that have made the 
world brighter and made my personal life easier.
