I don't own a Mac any more for financial reasons, but the original white Macbook is my favorite of the computers I've owned. My dad has it now.
Growing up as a computer nerd in the late 80's and 90's I used Apple machines all through school, and later sometimes work. If I ever have the funds again, my next laptop will be a Mac.
His passing has affected me far, far more than I would have expected. As a blogger said, "iSad."
Jobs had a major hand in creating the things that shaped my entire geek life. The dude actually succeeded in making a dent in the universe.
(unrelated: My company still relies on Okidata dot matrix printers. And I have to fix them.)
