Personal Message from OFC:
OFC Official Fan Club was founded based on the tenets of Steve Jobs' legacy - a desire to infuse music and technology. As a person whose professional drive and excitement in life fed from a deep rooted passion for computers, Steve Jobs has always been the definitive champion and luminary of technology. I coded my first pascal program on a Macintosh in 1984 when my father purchased this iconic innovation and my college professor allowed me to use the Mac. The Mac, with it's ergonomically ground breaking mouse and graphical user interface (GUI), went on to foster the proliferation of PC's in the workplace and households.

The advent of the omnipresent iPod and later iPhone transformed our culture, society and the world of music. As a youth growing up with a stockpile of scratched beloved record albums that only could be played at home, it was a dream to see the iPod come to fruition offering an endless catalog of music available anytime, anywhere in the palm of the hand. The journey for ever evolving technology was paved by Steve Jobs and I am grateful for the gift he has unleashed that continues to kindle my inner core as a die hard "digit head" and music fan.
R.I.P. Steve Jobs
