  Maybe not his greatest legacy, but a legacy none the less. Bringing portable multi-media players at an affordable price to everyone. Can you imagine telling someone 10 years ago what they would be able to do in the near future with an iPhone/iPad. Luxuries we now all take for granted.

  That a garage is necessary and he had one. Hewlet /Packard, Gates and many others started out tinkering in their garages.

  In that garage with his partner, he took some pretty simple ideas we take for granted now, and made them boom! Wonderful inventor and leader.

  Giving garages a good name and encouraging their use by thousands of hopeful geeks and bands. Eventually, they may even become World Heritage sites?

  Steve Jobs gave me more than 10+ years of great computers and OS's. In 11 years of using Apple computers I have only ever replaced two hard drives. I have a 2003 iBook which is still going strong and still in use around the house for internet/email.

  Without Steve Jobs we would have been forced to continue with Windows, OMG!!!

  His greatest legacy is Apple itself and all the subsequent products derived from it.

  His vision and his determination to realize that vision. Unfortunately the nuts and bolts of the machines are often attributed to Jobs, but that was actually people like Steve Wozniak. Wozniak put together the Apple I entirely by himself as Jobs really did not know anything. But without Jobs, Wozniak never would have done it. Again, it was the vision of Jobs to begin such a venture and form a company and get people with talent like Wozniak on board.

  The focus on making technology usable for the masses, not just some geeks. There are lots of other companies which made and make products which are technically better than Apple's and which even brought them to the market earlier. Yet they lack(ed) a consistent and easy way how to use them.

  He was a great man. Full of energy and ideas. HE was one of the few that had a vision and ran toward those visions. His passing is a great loss for all. RIP

  As a side note, it was because of the company he started, I began to eat apples too.

  His greatest legacy is a man who created something from nothing that changed the world.

  His head was always filled with a 'IF".
