Truly remarkable what Jobs has done with Apple. It was a dead company in the late ‘90s. His vision created a market that other tech companies have still yet to catch up with since.

I say this as a PC user for business, but an iPhone/iPod/iTunes junkie since they all came to market in the last decade.

I remember reading an article in the newspaper back in '97 that talked about whether or not Apple was even going to survive, they only had something like 3% of the market share and nothing notable on the horizon. I felt sad thinking that Apple would join Betamax and become a foot note in history. Then Steve Jobs returned and became the interim CEO/CEO - and the rest, as they say, is history. He is on my list of people I would love to have dinner with (along with Ben Franklin ;-) ) His politics might stink but his forward thinking in technology gives him a pass (for me anyway). I use a pc because I have to and a Mac because I want to.

I pray that his health will take a turn for the better and that he will have many more years to spend with his family.
