One more thing...

I am a huge fan of the Apple computer company.  When I was a kid, my best friend Ven had an Apple II in his home and I would always look forward to getting my hands on it. Once I began recording my own music I realized I would never buy another non-Macintosh computer again.

In the past 5 years, I've become more and more intrigued by the company and it's marketing strategies.  They have amazing designs, beautiful retail stores, unifying hardware/software concepts, and remarkably intuitive user interfaces.  However, none of us would know about this company if it weren't for Steve Jobs.

Not only is he responsible for creating the company itself, he is also the face of the company, responsible for introducing new products and software at keynote presentations over the last 27 years.  He is, in my opinion, the greatest salesman in the world.

His presentation keynote speeches are the equivilant to Christmas morning for many an Apple fanboy (including myself). With an upcoming Apple event, rumored to be the unveiling of an Apple tablet, right around the corner, here are a few of my favorite Jobs moments from years past.
