“My prayers go out to Steve's family, friends and co-workers. Today the world has lost one of the most amazing human beings, but Heaven has gained a wonderful angel. Steve first touched my life in 1983 when the first computer I ever learned to use was the original Mac. No hard drive, one floppy disk drive, small black and white screen and this crazy thing called a mouse. One "click" and I was hooked. Many Macs, iPods, iPhones and iPad later, I'm still impressed and always a fan. My deepest condolences,” sent by Joanne from Geneva, Illinois.Visit the site here.
