    I'm shocked, a day after the iPhone 4S release - may he rest in peace.

    You're the one sure thing I've found so you better stick around...

    It is sad, but we knew it was going to happen, given his illness and how thin he had become, it was obvious he was extremely ill.

    I was there in 1984 when they debuted the Macintosh in Boston, I was a college student and the event was held at my school, so I got to see it. I have used them pretty much ever since.

    Yeah, that's true. It wasn't completely shocking. I just didn't think he would be gone so soon.

    That is absolutely awesome. You saw the first Mac!

    I send big thanks to Steve for creating Violet (my MacBook Pro) and my iPod
