OH WOW. OH WOW. OH WOW.

A Sister’s Eulogy for Steve Jobs

By MONA SIMPSON

go here for the complete (and lovely) read
at the new york times.


as for me...  i don't use a mac
but i always have wanted too.
13 years into a career in
illustration
...

wacom tablets
photoshop
quick books
(too many programs to list)
...

i am committed to the PC,
as it is what i know...
it was where i learned.

but perhaps after reading steve jobs eulogy,
i am realizing that one is never to old to 
learn new things.

or love a little better.

okay then...  go.
go do something new.
i am.

    I am the complete opposite. My husband and I have had Macs since college (the late 80's) except for one short time when I had to be PC compatible for an online master's degree. Currently that means 1 Mac desktop, 1 Macbook, 2 iPhones-I've had one since the beginning- on my 3rd one- and 2 iPod Touches and Apple TV. Nothing works as well and easily as an Apple product.

    I so loved the Eulogy. Beautiful.

    I switched to a Mac after using a PC almost my entire life (literally--my dad was in computers, so I grew up with them). It wasn't so bad. And I still use my Wacom on the Mac. :)

    I stumbled upon your blog recently and then the other day while at the grocery store... I saw your owl kleenex box! I grabbed one, only one as that was all there was but so totally thrilled to have your artwork in my house. You ROCK!
