rckymtn22 Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Not surprising. He didn't look that well at the beginning of summer, I didn't think he had long to live then. He sure did a lot for the computer world. RIP

asmith Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 I still have my original Mac Plus from 86 complete with 1meg of RAM and still working today, a true design classic.
anthem Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 Not surprising. He didn't look that well at the beginning of summer, I didn't think he had long to live then. He sure did a lot for the computer world. RIP RIP - I thought the same thing, when I saw that he was stepping down, he did not look well. Can't say I'm shocked, but still very sad news.
bombaybill Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 Sad day indeed, a true visionary....man like that is hard to replace.
kiwirwe Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 he was the reason i got a iphone RIP my Friend.
Fuzz AI Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 It is a sad day to see the passing of Steve Jobs. His true genius was not in the products that Apple made, but it was in the way he marketed them to the world. Others may have invented them first, but he made them sexy and cool. Even though I am a PC guy, I tip my hat to you Steve jobs. RIP.
Styler Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 I too am a PC guy but I can't ignore the impact he has made on the world of electronics. A sad day indeed.
CigarCanuck Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 RIP Steve you brought creativity with amazing innovation that will forever change our lives...your genius will always be in memory!!!
Guest rob Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 I'm saddened not for the loss of his genius.... but for the passing of someone who was still so relatively young. That to me is the real tragedy. It also puts into perspective the destructive and indiscriminate nature of cancer - that a man with endless wealth was not able to defend himself against it. I truly hope that one of Mr Jobs' enduring legacies is to highlight to the world the that we must continue to strive to find cures for such terrible illnesses.
Maron76 Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 Godspeed Steve...... My mother lost her twin brother to the same thing at the age of 39. Just a horrible way to die, something I will never forget. My heart goes out to his family.
