Steve Jobs we will miss you

"Pete Seeger doing "Sweet Low Sweet Chariot" It's interesting that Seeger would sing for a capitalist such as Job. Seeger an admitted committed communist singing about the one thing he hates more than meat eaters and that's individuality."

Wow. I'm seriously glad that I'm not living your life.

Well, the vast majority of you still listen to turntables and LPs and tube amps. you have rejected digital music devices and solid state power. Jobs was a visionary. I am sure he considered tubes outdated tech. Now if his iphones and computers and all the other wonderful devices he created, had been powered by tubes, I would be out of line. As it is, I stand by my statement. Ain't nothing visionary about the people on this site. Jobs also wanted to get high tech into the hands of all humanity. This site is geared towards a clique that values exclusivity above all else.

I think this thread has gotten really weird. Steve Jobs, the man had a vision and a plan to get it done----and I think he did. He changed the world as we all know it, and he brought music into the lives of a lot of people who otherwise might not have listened at all. The rest of the Apple line up is pretty cool and from the sales numbers he seems to have gotten it right. A great man has died and I for one am disgusted by the comments above. Lets show a little compassion and respect. You don't have to agree with everything he did, or even like his products, but he has passed on and deserves a bit more then he has gotten from a few of the above posts. Just for the record I have an all analog rig, but I do own more then a couple of Ipods.

Steve Jobs stood for things that 99% of the people on this site detest, so stop it all the fake outpourings.<<

Please elaborate

"Jobs also wanted to get high tech into the hands of all humanity."

That would seem to be a major cornerstone of Apples business model and he clearly suceeded in this regard no doubt.

"This site is geared towards a clique ..."

Yes, but nothing wrong with a clique per se unless it blinds you to what goes on in the rest of the world. So I would object to the assertion that I should not recognize Job's accomplishments just because the ipod is such a success. I use one myself (well, my daughter's technically) with decent earbuds as a portable music source and it is the nicest gadget I have ever used just for that.

In general it is not a good idea I think to hold someone in poor regard just because they march to a different drummer. When your drummer is high end audio and high end audio alone, you are heading down a very lonely path relative to humanity I would say.
