He was a good manager, designer, and marketer. A visionary, and a leader. Nobody can take that away from him. But to glorify him almost to the point of deification is to take it too far.
I admire the man for his professional achievements, and his personal philosophy. But I do not think he deserves the deification that is being thrust upon him.

I've had similar thoughts pass through my head recently. A roll model, sure. A man to be respected and admireds? Definitely. But it is pretty over the top.
Next they'll build chapels with apples instead of crosses. [/blasphemy] ^^
I hate all things Apple - they make no sense to me, my bizarre brain configuration serves to make them nearly unusable, and the whole cult thing just turns me off. I still mourn the loss of an intellectual giant, though - there are just so few left.
Natasha - That's the thing about people. They are human. They make mistakes. They are not perfect. I think it's always dangerous to deify anyone...
True!
People seem to always be hungry for someone to follow....it is not healthy!!

So true!
