What I emailed Steve...

"I'm sure I'm not the only one doing this, but I wanted to thank you so much for everything you have done for Apple.

Since I was a young kid playing with an Apple ][ at my dad's work, you (and Woz) have been my hero.

There was a day back in 1998 when I almost left this place, because some people around me were filling my head with tons of shit. My first day back from vacation, which was supposed to be the day that I quit just happened to coincide with the iMac announcement at DeAnza College. I knew after your presentation that there was a leader in place to help point the way for those of us who want to build good stuff.

Thanks so much for building (and re-building) a company where we can do the right thing— not the stuff that everyone tells us we should do.

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
— Robert Frost"
