iSad

Dear Sir Fong readers,


One of our most innovative minds just passed away.

Many of you will not remember when computers were boring blocks of grey bricks taking up a huge space on our tables. That was because a company called Apple created the iMac. The iMac was a beautiful designer computer that revolutionized the way a computer can look. Then came the iPod, a tiny music player that everyone wanted (granted, Singapore's Creative Technology made that technology possible). Many of you are using the iPhone now, though many people Sir Fong's generation could not believe a handphone can have no buttons!

The man who made it all possible was Steve Jobs. He pushed, he shoved, he bullied but mostly he did what it took to make his visions come true. Sir Fong always saw him as a visionary: someone as inventive and creative as Leonardo Da Vinci. Someone who, in the process of realising his amazing visions, inspired all of us and made the world a better place.

Steve Jobs passed away yesterday. Sir Fong just wants you to know that a great mind is no longer with us, but his spirit will live on in many hearts.
