Like Bill Gates, he started a company in his garage with little money. He persisted and helped usher in the world that we have today. In the process he (and Gates) created technologies that disrupted almost every industry that you can think of and put them on more affordable, effective foundations.
Apple (and Microsoft) were each started with nothing but two people who had a vision of how their products could make society better. They made a ton of money and in the process and they shared in their success -- both companies created a plethora of millionaire investors and employees. Microsoft created 10,000 millionaire employees. Not sure how many Apple created, but it was a bunch. As a result they were demonized by lazy, envious people on the left.
Godspeed to Steve Jobs. He is one of the few true heroes of our time.
