Steve Jobs statue unveiled in Budapest

As someone with a long history with Graphisoft and who knows Gabor Bojar personally, let me shed some light on why this is a very appropriate tribute.

In 1982, Bojar and a teenaged programmer name Tamas Hajas created a little program for 3D mechanical ducting design. They won a competition with this. They had an idea to make it an architectural program at that point and Apple, still under the direction of Steve Jobs, had given Graphisoft seed money to start their company. The program, ArchiCAD, was actually Mac only until 1994 when it became available on Windows. Suffice it to say without Apple and Steve's belief in their concept and seed money, Graphisoft would fail to exist. They also happen to be the largest software corporation in Hungary and is actual a "real player" in the world-wide architectural CAD market.

This is a very genuine and appropriate tribute by Graphisoft.

Steve Jobs changed the entire world with his visionary outset and revamping of wireless media and communications. He’ll be a name which rings out through history for evolving the way we live, share and communicate. I was compelled to create a portrait of him, now In Memoriam on my artist’s blog at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/08/end-of-era-steve-jobs.html

I suppose that I am the only one who thinks that this is just a bit too much. The next thing you know, some crazy will start some kind of Steve Jobs church or religion.

See the statue from this angle:

I appreciate the gesture but couldn't they have done a better job. He has a huge upperarm and a chin of a tobacco chewer....

Did Steve Jobs do anything special in Budapest? Or did they just appriciate Jobs so much they put a statue there. If the latter is true, then I'd love to be immortalized like that!
