[microsound] RIP Steve Jobs

[Michael Mantra]

Hey You All,

      Sorry I did not mean to start a flame war here.  I used to be a huge fan of The Steve until the last few years.  The cancer rotted his brain.  The Steve we knew died years ago.  The Steve had some remarkable marketing skills.   And he made some remarkably bad marketing moves as well.  Steve Wozniak was the true electronics whiz.  I always advocated to my students a One Mac and One PC philosophy.  That way you had best of both worlds.  I have been using Final Cut Pro for over 11 years.  I was an FCP Evangelist.  But then a couple years ago he told the FCP  community that he did not need us.  And he did not need to make Towers or lap tops any more.  And then this year FCP X came out and Apple did not show it to the FCP user groups.  Since the start of this year our FCP user group is going Avid or with Adobe.  And the straw that broke the camels back was meeting people who claimed they worked directly with Steve or interviewed with them and they told
 me what he was really like.  His behavior was rude and unprofessional and the cancer rotted him inside out.  I will get off my soap box and go back to lurking.
