From John Warnock & Chuck Geschke<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“We met Steve Jobs about 3 months after we started Adobe. He called us and said: \u2018I hear you guys are doing great things \u2013 can we meet?\u2019 He came over to our tiny office in Mountain View and saw the early stages of PostScript. He got the concept immediately and we started about 5 months of negotiations over our first contract. Apple invested $2.5 million into Adobe and gave us an advance on royalties. This allowed us to help Apple build the first LaserWriter. Without Steve\u2019s vision and incredible willingness to take risk, Adobe would not be what it is today. We owe an enormous debt to Steve and his vision.
\n“We have always had great admiration and respect for Steve. The world is a better place because of him, and his absence will leave a huge hole in the world of technology.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And from the Adobe.com<\/a> home page:<\/p>\n

“Steve was a unique visionary and his influence as a technology innovator will be sorely missed. This is a sad day for the entire industry, and we offer our deepest sympathy to his family.”\u2014 Shantanu Narayen, president and CEO, Adobe Systems<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
