A real shame. On a serious note, of course he'll be missed. He was a brilliant young guy who threw great concerts and contributed something to the computer boom. Not as much as a lot of people imagine, as the ideas of the fancy MMI was developed by a Xerox research lab. A great computer scientist, I'm not sure. A good marketeer, indeed. He really cut it close. He must have been in great pain and knew for years how close the end was and by the grace of God or perfect timing bowed out of Apple just in time. If only he had appointed a charismatic successor like me. Most likely Apple will quickly become a former company. So now we see if there's anything NeXT.
