You will probably want to watch this video of Apple’s tribute to Steve Jobs, held on the Apple campus on October 19, 2011. There are some very moving moments as people who knew and worked with Steve talk about how they remember him.

Thanks, Kirk,
I got as far as the introduction of Bill Campbell and had to shut down. Mr. Campbell, allegedly Steve Jobs’ best friend and mentor, has abandoned Macintosh users of Quicken.
[NB: Quicken is an Intuit product; Campbell is the Intuit CEO.]
The existing and sadly outdated versions of Quicken will not run under OS Lion. Mr. Campbell’s “let them eat cake” response to the user base:
He has gone so far as to tell Mac users to buy Windows, and run the Windows version of Quicken via Parallels (et al).
Or, to the apparently too small to be important cohort of Mac Quicken users, use an INFERIOR product (Q Elements) or install Snow Leopard (the last OS compatible with Quicken 2007 — the last version of the software) on a separate drive and boot up from that whenever you want to made an entry to Quicken.
I cannot, not for the life of me, understand why he’s still around. Maybe to prove that Steve Jobs did, despite his loyalty to friends, after all, have feet of clay and myopic vision sometimes.
The best testament to Steve Jobs that Bill Campbell could provide would be an “insanely great” version of Quicken 2012, updated annually.
