Missing you, Mr. Jobs...

...and how can the opposite be possible - at all, or ever?
======================================================

I found this article, "A sister's eulogy for Steve Jobs," very touching. It totally made
me cry! So, I'm a big fan... is it possible not to be one? I don't think so. And it is, indeed, amazing that even after his demise, our admiration for him keeps growing - still... and the reality of his absence in the world of inspired and inspiring innovation makes us weep.

Ah, I wish it was possible to re-create your genius... to replace you, Mr. Jobs. Then it would always be possible to find the Tech World as the most reassuring place to see innovation flourish the way true innovation did, and should - on your guard. Then it would always inspire us to set our vision to a place where yours resided... where you showed us how the most daring and adventurous of imaginations can turn to reality - as tangible as a sleek gadget - through hardwork, passion, persistence, and love. But, alas, you are one of a kind... absolutely irreplaceable! And we miss you!
