It is very sad to see Steve Jobs go out like this... A great guy... I would expect Bill Gates to be saddened as well, seeing what they've been through together, and apart.. What a great pioneer.. RIP Steve...

For those of you who have not seen it, you really need to watch "Pirates of Silicon Valley".. It's how it ALL started.. Right around my old stomping grounds.. I used to work for Digital Electronics in Monterey.. It shows how Steve and Bill split.. The rise of Microsoft and Apple, it's really a "Dont miss" education in digital history.. You can actually watch all of it in parts on youtube.. The documentary is WAY better but, for the life of me, I cannot find it but, the movie is still covers a ton of eventful sequences.
Their first computer built together was built in a garage.. It was just an electronic box with manual "on-off" toggle switches, hence, binary code 011001100... Crap, I hope i didn't just create a virus
