It's very sad as he was a revolutionary. I wasn't surprised though because he's been very ill lately and didn't look well.

I agree with you both.

I dont know why I'm so surprised, because he obviously wasnt well. Maybe its just a stark reminder that life can be very short. He was only a few years older than me, so maybe I'm just being reminded to live my life to the fullest.

Indeed very sad...he had a big impact on the tech field from a very young age.

Its the top story on all the news channels here. The BBC just had a 30-minute segment about his life.

I agree. I've been upset all morning. Obviously I didnt know the guy, but I know how much of an impact he had on my day-to-day life.

And its always sad when the world loses a genius. Whether he was a technological genius or a business genius, either way, he was a genius.



I think I might have to buy myself a gift to cheer myself up

I agree.

I think the other thing that has been upsetting me about this is that when he resigned from Apple a couple of months ago, he probably knew he only had weeks to live. Obviously there are other people in that same boat, but I cant imagine what that must be like. To go through the day, knowing that in a few short days or weeks, you're going to be six feet under.

How the hell do you spend your last days? I think if it were me, I'd just take an overdose and get it over and done with. I'd go nuts otherwise.

I guess people have to do what they have to do, but for me, I think I'd take the selfish way out, because I wouldnt want to spend my last few weeks in a nut house. If a doctor said to me "you have a month to live", I think I would probably go insane right there on the spot.
