I'm a bit gutted by Steve Jobs.
He was ill for a very long time though. Something I honestly believe about cirtain people, is that when they're on their last legs, they hold out for some kind of event, something they wish to see before they go. With Steve Jobs, I bet he wanted to see the iPhone announcement, he probably wanted to see a lot more, but at least he got that.

Also - regardless of if you like Apple products & services or not
He deserves respect for building a business with an approximate market capitalisation of £230billion.

Yup, that's pretty impressive by anyone's standard.
It's one thing to be a king of a market, it's another to create the market in itself, and another again to do that time and time again.

I fully respect the bloke for what he did even though I'm anti-Apple
I think he would have felt very pleased with his accomplishments. Mind you, he also strikes me as a the kind of the person that's always wanting more.

I'm not too sure, I think with most high end buisness people, there is a madness that takes hold, where nothing is enough.
But I think with him, he's content with his achivements, I think the same with Bill Gates too.

I don't care what he did as nearly old Apple products are old technology repackaged as fashion accessories.
At best he was a fashion designer. Take the brand new just out of the box mac on my desk. 2.4ghz dual core with 2gb of ram. That's years old tech but it looks pretty.

That said, a man has died much younger than I would expect to live which is very sad.
