Because life in a remote, 3rd World nation is made easier through technology. And Steve Jobs impacted this technology more than anyone I know.
I was a died-in-the-wool PC user my entire career...up until the last 3 months of my career.
I used PC's because the software available was geared to business and that's what I did, business.
Six months before we moved to Panama, I bought a new PC notebook, with Microsoft Vista on it. I was so angry at the impossibly bad operating system that I ran out and bought a MacBook.
Best thing I ever did in the area of computers!
Once I used an Apple product, experienced the intuitive ease of operation, the stability with no re-booting required, no viruses, and all the incredible software like Garage Band, I was hooked for good.
No way will I go back to a PC...although I hear that Microsoft 7 is good, very Mac like.
When we were visiting Panama before we moved, with a PC I would try to connect to a WiFi service at the various restaurants and fail. My friend who was using a Mac would connect, automatically with no extra effort. I would have to hire an IT Tech to set my machine up FOR EACH WiFi spot.
That pissed me off.
Steve Jobs was clearly a genius. A visionary. And probably a little bit crazy, a requirement for true social changers. Sanity is over rated anyway.
As I watch CNN this morning, and hear and see all that Steve Jobs impacted, I get a little weepy from the loss. People like this can not be "replaced". They are unique...a one of a kind.
Rest in Peace Steve Jobs...

Hi Tom, so good to be reading your blogs - they are HOME to Me! Love Reading these, Your willingness to Share everything (supposed good, and supposed bad) is so reFreshing. Thanks for Being You, Tom. Yella just took off, and We passed close enough to hear each other's Fog Horns - snicker, snicker- and I am Glad that Panama has You. I am in Colorado Springs - it is snowing a bit this morning, and I am offering Satsang in a couple hours. Then Kirtana, tonight, and Satsang in Taos tomorrow. All Good. Love You with All I Am. Darshan
What great two days for you! Two Satsangs and a Satsang concert. Got to be good!
I don't miss the snow. And I don't miss the dry, dry air and need for air conditioning and force air heat. I don't think I fit there anymore.
Sorry that our trips didn't coincide. Now that would have been fun!
All is about normal in Panama now. Yella is home, I am feeling better
Thanks for writing on my blog. Always a joy to hear from you...
Home. I am finding that home is always just where I am supposed to Be. for Me, right now, New Mexico. and in this very moment, right here, in my mom's living room, typing in the dark. Home is where I Love from. Glad You Guys are Home. You Colorado service is done, so it is now odd. my Arkansas service is low, so NM is main Home for a while... and, the Satsangs are Kicking 'my' Ass! whoever thought this Stuff was peaceful and Fun was either a Saint or an idiot (Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha)... guess I told on the whole spectrum of Darshan...
