Have I ever told everyone that my first computer was an Apple IIe. In the Philippines in 1987, we had the IBM 8086 at school which was very fortunate. Not a lot of schools had computers at the time. We were lucky to have 5 that was split between classes so everyone can use them. But one day a Missionary leaving the Philippines going back to the States and the family could not carry one more big luggage, the Apple IIe. They wanted us to have it because the family saw how fascinated I was with the computer when we visited their house for dinners, and get togethers.

I will never forget the 13 inch GREEN display with 8 lines per character and the system starting with “BASIC,” which stood for Basic All Purpose Instruction Code. I learned some programing at school was able to apply the BASIC code then. There was the 5 and 1/4th size Floppy drive that can use Single or Double Density space. One Floppy Disk can hold a massive 512 Kilobytes of information. You can mirror the cut on the other side of the disk and it will give you a double sided disk. Each side can really carry 256 Kilobytes of information.

My first games were the 1980 Summer Olympics, Captain Goodnight, Bolo, Paratroopers. It was amazing.

I moved over the the IBM PC world because the Macintosh computers were just too costly. My parents could not afford them and IBM PC clones were much cheaper then.

Today, I thank Kingdom Assignment for bringing me back to Apple. I do still love PCs because many company softwares are still needing them. I actually run Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro but the heart and soul is still the fruit – Apple.

I celebrate Steve Job’s life with this post because he was a visionary. I think that I am a visionary who can relate to him but he is magnified 1000x with his genius. But he means for all of us to take advantage of life and not settle for less. He encourages us to love what we do.

I am truly inspired with his Commencement Speech to the Stanford Univ. Class of 2005.

I just want to say “JOBS” Well Done.
