So sad. You are undoubtedly missed, Steve.
May you rest in peace, Apple II forever by your side.

Why are you glad he is gone? He was probably the greatest technological innovator of our time. Regardless of what you think of Apple, one can't help but respect and admire what he has accomplished in his lifetime.

It was Jobs that pioneered the first GUI, assumingly the very thing you used to say you're glad he's gone (unless you're running elinks, in which case I stand corrected - but I thought I was the only one who uses E-links). Sorry but that doesn't make sense to me. While I'm not sure I'd say he was 'the' greatest technological innovator of our time, he was most certainly right up there. "Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people". - Eleanor Roosevelt That is all. (And someone correct my facts if I'm wrong, but I'm fairly sure the Apple II was the first to use a Graphical User Interface as opposed to a Text Console).

Oh wow, correction appreciated. I actually knew about that one, too, but it always seemed like Jobs got all the credit. Gotta love PARC.
