Steve

When you become an Apple fan for the first time, you just know. There's a moment—it happens fast—when you realize that the Apple-designed device is on your side. 

It wants you to succeed, it wants to work the way you expect it to, and it wants you to enjoy the whole damn experience.

To me, that's the Steve Jobs influence. That's "insanely great."

Steve Jobs made my life quantifiably, undeniably better. Yours, too.

I will be forever grateful.
