It really is truely amazing her far we’ve come these past 25 years, it would appear that yesterday my mother bought an iMac, I have yet to see it, but I know it’s one of the newer ones, I’ve really looking forward to taking a good look at it. From these little black and white screens to full colour high resolution high definition screens with very large sizes, not to mention the CPU grunt and huge hard disks available now.

A machine way ahead of its time, maybe a little bit too ahead of its time…or would until the Amiga came out and kicked it’s arty farty pretentious ass one year later!

Even though I’ve never bought any of his products, even though I think he was a jerk in his personal life, my hat is off to Steve Jobs for what he accomplished.

I bet none of the lamers carrying an iPhone nowadays have a clue where all of it came from. They are a bunch of wannabes.

@pokerface3699 It’s the lighting, if you put him in a black turtleneck and jeans, shave his head, throw in a bit of stubble and a pair of dorky Harry Potter glasses, and you’ve got Steve Jobs.
