RIP Steve Jobs. In my view he at the head of Apple revolutionised consumer technology more in the last 10 years, than possibly in an other time. I think most households now have one or more Apple Products, typed from a Mac, whilst checking the time on an iPhone.

Very sad. Been using Mac products since 1992 or thereabouts, and I'm sure the industry will be poorer for his passing.

Tis a real shame. I'd love to see what he had planned for the next 10 years...
And maybe we will as who knows what's in the vaults at Cupertino!

He reinvented the wheel... And it worked better than the original.

People believed anything he said because he displayed so much passion in his products and made appearances in down to earth attire not jumped up suites and glossy stuff.
Yes part sales man and part businessman.... But all Steve Jobs.

A sad day..

Regards. Steve.

So sad and so soon after stepping down as CEO

His memory will live forever through all the magnificent products he created over his short life, the World has lost a genious.
