I worked at the Apple Store back in 2005. It was one of those rare jobs where you didn’t dread going into work every day. During my employment there, Jobs would occasionally send out mass emails to all the employees of the Apple company. This is the only one I ever ended up forwarding back to my personal email address since I knew I wasn’t going to have my @apple.com address forever. While it’s not an email directly to me, I found it kinda cool that I got an email from Steve Jobs. This one was a forwarded email about Apple being voted the most innovative company in the world.

I can directly link back several ways how Steve Jobs has made my life better on a daily basis. He was a true genius and innovator. May he rest in peace.

Post Script: while searching through my old Apple emails, I found an email from the stock purchasing program I was enrolled in while working there. It was a receipt showing that my purchase price for AAPL was $26.84 a share for 13 shares. That represents a 1400% return on that stock that I purchased. Too bad I was limited based on the number of hours I worked or I probably could have done some serious damage.
