If I were to ask 100 people in the computer field who they feel has inspired them most throughout their lives, I would wage a guess that 90% of techies would say Steve Jobs.

I think you'd be wrong about this one. I mean, everybody respected Steve Jobs for his commitment to design and quality, but for the open-source geeks and the linguists and the gamers and all those folks who love code for code itself and not for producing a perfect bug-free result but the fun of the craft? I mean, Steve made great products, but I don't think any those types would say they felt "inspired" by him. The OSS world in particular utterly loathed him and the gaming world just plain ignored Apple until very recently.
