I should preface this by saying that most women think differently than
some men.They have to to ride the waves of day to day life.
I am very fond of Apple computers as I have just discovered them. I
hope they survive. I don't know if Mr Jobs has noticed but the younger
generation has been doing computers since they were tots and are quite good.
The best computer person I ever met had been using computers since he was four
and started building them at 12. He was 17 when I met him and earning as much
as me,an adult, at a part time job fixing computers. He was a trouble shooter
for Gateway. He was going to college in the fall.
For his own sanity Mr Jobs has to realize that we are all dispensable. The
next morning after he quits,someone will be doing his job. It may take them a
while to be as good as he is as experience does matter but we are all
dispensable. If we are lucky we have balanced our job and home life to ease the
transition from work to retirement. I hope Mr Jobs ' health improves so he can
stay on. He is obviously not ready to retire.
