steven jobs (aka steve jobs)













i don't understand how steve jobs can only be worth 5.4 billion dollars. i'm on my third ipod in four years, and have purchased at least three others for gifts for friends. they break quickly and we buy more. how can he not be right up there with the so recently richest man in america bill gates? the mysteries of this will not be answered soon i am sure. it may have been because he was a college dropout. no, because so was bill gates. and actually many of the world's wealthiest people dropped out of that obviously big waste of time thing we call higher education. possibly it was the might of bill gates and microsoft itself that crushed him from the top of the list and placed him down here in the dregs of the single digit billionaire list. i can't exactly suggest pitying steve jobs, but for all his apparent brilliance he does not quite have the killer instinct of his nemesis bill gates the 3rd. one really nice thing about steve jobs is that he is easier to find than bill gates. either that or i just have gotten a little bit more efficient at finding corporate headquarter addresses. that's good news for me and for you so that we can send steven jobs a letter describing the richness and magic qualities of the trickle down theory and offer him an address of where he can send our cheque. i might wait for a later time to then tell him exactly how great i think it is that a product from his company that costs upwards of $300.00 can pretty much fizzle out and inexplicably die after just a couple of years. stuff that up your genius bar. please contact steve jobs at the address below.
