Heavy lifting on both from graphics with macs to massive data queries with PCs.  The claims of mac infallibly is more a result of marketing based perceptions. I've had to clean up my parents PC and macbook for a not so computer savvy comparison.

I honestly find that's it's less the platform and more the user that is the source of most issues.  :laugh:

Exactly... try to name another person from another company who has the same level of influence as Jobs. This makes Apple unique. You may not see the impact he has had on technology, obviously others have.

Of course, if you use a smart phone, tablet or computer - Steve Jobs has had an impact either directly or indirectly on the device you are using.

Henry Ford didn't invent the assembly line, but you've benefited from him improving the process.

Steve Jobs wasn't a great innovator. He was a great capitalist. He had the vision to see great innovation and the implications thereof, and turn those into marketable items. There is nothing wrong with that, the world needs both, and both are worthy of due accolades. Without Jobs, the Apple could have been the Altair or Osborne of the computer world instead of the Apple giant it became, with all the impact on consumer technology that brought with it. I will be equally sorrowful when Woz dies, for similar but unique reasons as to why I'm sorrowful at the death of Jobs.
