But at the same time, not unexpected. Jobs survived and continued working, thinking, dreaming, innovating, for better than half a decade after his cancer diagnosis. He seems to have taken it in stride, probably in keeping with his Buddhist beliefs, and will pass on with one of the greatest legacies in modern times. It is very sad... at the same time, I doubt that Jobs has many regrets.
I have lost friends to cancer, and been with them to the end. So I guess the picture of a frail, haggard Jobs does not surprise me.
At least he has been afforded the gift of being at Apple when it ultimately prevailed. Steve’s legacy.
Recently, in an interview, he said he strongly identified with Flik in “A Bug’s Life” by Pixar. Although I have not seen the film, I understand the grasshoppers that Flik battled, were a lot like Microsoft.
