Thank you so much, Madhu! Yes, I drew this on my iPad, using the Brushes app for iPad. I tried using my finger at first, but I found that difficult, so I switched to using an iPad stylus. It was quite a lovely way to spend the evening.

I love this sketch! Especially its Giacomettisque quality.
Did you draw it? If you did, its one of your best art works.

Cynthia, I couldn’t agree with you more. Working at NeXT was a treat, everything you describe. Nothing has matched that yet in its entirety…the people, the place, the leader (Steve) and the experience of it all.
