Remembering Where it Began

Steve Jobs, founder of Apple, passed away yesterday at the early age of 56 from pancreatic cancer. As a Mac specialist in Chicago, Lapin is both saddened by the loss of such a visionary and grateful for all that Jobs accomplished during his lifetime. As reported by Engadget last evening,

"Steve Jobs has had a remarkable effect on the industry as a whole. His impact on the progression of personal electronics cannot be overstated and his swift departure leaves a hole none could fill, but he has built a legacy that few could ever hope rival. Apple computer now stands firmly as a leader in consumer electronics, and for many it will always be known as The House that Steve Built."

Here is a brief look back at how Steve Jobs built the amazing national brand that Apple is today.

• 1976: Apple founded

• 1984: The first Mac, the Macintosh 128K introduced

• 1998: iMac launched

• 2001: Mac operating system reinvented with OS X, Apple store retail chain launched, launch of iPod and iTunes

• 2007: Introduction of iPhone

• 2008: Launch of the App store
