No, I’m sure you are not an old crank. I am though. I opted for MLB radio over MLB video. I cancelled Netflix and signed up for Sirius. Going old school radio on digital.

Comment on Five Small Stories About Steve Jobs by Christian Johnson

Christian Johnson — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 08:46:23 +0000

Thanks for the perspective. When the day ends, we are simple human beings concerned about our health. The story about Jobs and Ellison is a poignant example of that.

I will always remember the interview Gates and Jobs did, where Steve quoted ~the miles we have behind us are more than the years ahead. Those are not the right words but the sentiment is there. As I watched those two, I was struck by the memory that Gates had ‘invested’ hundreds of millions into Apple, kept it afloat, making it possible for Steve to have the success he did, that both of them knew it, and that somehow history had tossed that fact aside. It also got the DOJ off MS’s back about it’s monopoly.

Thanks for these memories shared :D
