And I think Cringe's moon project had a helluva better shot at getting funding from Apple than from Microsoft. Nobody ever said Jobs was supposed to be polite, diuplomatic, genteel or friendly. What was WAS was a visionary who was unequivocably dedicated to excellence in form, style and function, and improving the world thru his products. And he refused to deviate from that no matter what. And, for a time, he and his products DID make the world a better place, and their legacy lives onboth in and of themselves and in the thousands (if not tens of thousands) of people and proucts that have hitched onto the bandwagon that HE initiated. Jobs may have been an uncompromising "pendejo," but that's a pretty good legacy to leave upon the world. And before anybody criticizes his foibles (which ALL great men /women have had), I would say if I could leave one hundredth the legacy he left upon the world, i would be pretty proud.

So the joke response was censored, but not my laughter.

Hence why many people morned the passing of Jobs while Neil Armstrong's death passed relatively quietly in comparison. All this talk about crazy people and dreamers was just flim flam.
