[quote=“Neon”"] What did Steve Jobs actually accomplish besides becoming a successful marketer by rebranding existing products? He never actually invented anything and waged countless patent wars that actually slowed technological development. And what kind of ego maniac is too good for license plates? Oh yeah and all of Apple’s products are made in China. [/quote] Help me see the light. ---

He was going through organ transplants and radiation, I think that allows a handicaped spot at the company he was the head of? Most people at that point would not be working (and would in no way go through a liver transplant when you have pancriatic cancer, but he had tons of $ why not?) ---

If he was legally allowed to park there because of his illnesses, he’d have a little handicap logo on his license plate in CA, right? Oh wait… ---

So I guess I was right… this man was just a really good but sleezy **marketer** who shipped jobs overseas. > [@Jam](#): > > Do you have proof of this?

Neon way to ignore my comment… Maybe you should research what he did for desktops? Pixar is around because of him… You keep posting pictures of new cars parked in handicap spots…He has publicly announced he has had cancer since 2002-2003ish. You entire argument revolves around where he parked on a multi million dollar facility he built :lol: If you actually cared about the tech industry and didn’t have some blind hate your Apple you should have more reasons to hate Microsoft [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/school-me-on-steve-jobs/217913.md?page=2)
