I know everyone dies, but...

My wife and I each have Mac's, iPhone 4's, and she has an iPad, we use a Time Capsule for a router and have AppleTV. He changed the world and I pray he rests in peace. I feel like I've lost a personal friend. Truly a loss. I loved how one of the news casters said "How many people learned of his death on a product he invented?". I did, on my iPhone 4.  I know he staffed the upper echelon of Apple with people he knew and trained, I don't worry for Apple, but it will never be the same. I also pray for his family.

I agree with you totally. I got up at about 4am for a pee (I'm 50) and as always, I took my iPad with me, and thats how I saw the news. There was a newsflash from the BBC website, via the BBC app.

My current list of Apple stuff:

1 x iMac
2 x iPad (3g and WiFi)
1 x iPhone 4
1 x iPod 30gb Video
1 x iPod Touch 4G
1 x iPod Nano
1 x Macbook Air
1 x Macbook
2 x Airport Express
1 x Time Capsule
2 x Apple TV



I believe these things have changed my life. They've certainly changed my bank balance, but they've changed my life, I think for the better. I never met Steve Jobs, but I think I'll miss him.

Wozniak said this morning, "that it was like loosing a Lennon".

[Chavster]

Hmmm. I think Steve Jobs gave more to the world in a day than John Lennon gave to the world in a lifetime. Just IMOHO obviously.

He was a recluse in many ways and yet his biography will now be released according the news "talking heads" so that everyone, including his kids will know more.  And the surprising fact for me was that he was an adopted kid. 
I have to say I only own one Apple item, an iPod.  Not at all an Applehead.  And I have never gone to iTunes much less spent a penny there.  Someone must have, he was a multi-billionaire.

I two Apple items.  My iPod and my Macintosh Plus that bought back in 1986.  It's sitting on the shelf in my garage.  I should probably get rid of it but I hang onto it for nostalgia reasons.

Just last week I went to town on a paper I wrote focusing on his leadership and contributions...

...really can't believe he is gone.
