65. Tell me about it...
...We live in a good area of Detroit, the urban wastezone of popular thought. Our house was built in 1928 with absolutely amazing materials (all-brick construction, hardwood floors, 12" mahogany baseboards and solid maple doors, plaster all through, leaded glass) and do you know something? We are not able to get replacement value for home insurance. Why? Because the materials used in our size home (2400 sq. ft.), in today's market, would cost in upwards of $350,000. Seriously. So if our home goes, on the insurance industry's clout, we will have to replace it with CRAP. Yay us!

Meanwhile, Mr. Jobs is trying to erase a history he really will not be able to replicate fully, regardless of his exuberant optimism and/or bank account. Interesting AND sad.
