Hi 

I know it is silly but I feel a bit gutted to here about Steve Jobs today.   In the world of IT and inventions I wonder who will replace him .  Will Bill Gates go back to been inventive like he first was I really hope so as it was obvious Steve Jobs had loads of respect for Bill as they are and were  both inventors .   Whilst everyone likes to say one is better then the other , both men are genius.   

I saw an amazing interview with the two of them and it was clear the two where good friends and worked hard together.    Its was all media hype the two versing each other.     I have a funny feeling it will be a long time still we have someone like Steve Jobs again.  I really admired him as he worked so hard through the bad times when no one believed in Apple anymore.  I think Apple will be okay as he has been ill for a while.

 

  Will this be a sign of industry getting lazy and uncompetive again . I hope not.  Steve Jobs also highlighted that you should never cut your advertising budget , that is what other companies did and they paid the price trying to catch up with Apple.  His forsight to see everyone going to an APPLE Store was brillant and I confess to spend many hours in there.   A major devasting loss to the world of IT

Hi Sarah

I'm also feeling oddly affected by this news!  It almost feels like the end of an era.

I'm hoping that Apple will continue to embrace Steve Jobs vision as the thought of returning to PCs is wholly unappealing.

Steve Jobs was quite an inspiration in that he brought with him a sense of quality which he applied to everything he did - this is so rare in this day and age.

I love my Mac especially as it's almost 9 years old - a museum piece by PC standards!

Apple lost their way when Steve Jobs left the last time.  It took him returning in 1997 to turn the companies fortunes around.

Have they learned their lesson, or will apple crumble again without his steady hand on the tiller?  I think it will take a few year to find out.
