That's because you're ignorant, Bill. But enlightenment is just a click away.
Got fonts on your computer? That was Jobs' idea. Might seem obvious now but it was Jobs who thought of it and introduced it. The Mac more or less started the desktop publishing revolution on it's own. At the time of the Mac's introduction the PC could not display graphics.
Jobs' death is hugely important because Apple has been driving innovation in the computer industry for twenty years and for the last ten years Jobs has been Apple.
If you use a PC most things on it appeared on a Mac first or are watered-down Mac concepts. Even the modern laptop design with the keyboard against the screen is an Apple innovation. PC laptops used to put the keyboard on the edge of the machine like a typewriter.
You should'a pointed up someones skirt.
