Thanks for this sensitive and appropriate way of handling this. Of course SJ will be irreplacable, and I hope they won't try to. I think he always knew that computing were not for calculating: as a medium it'ss about entertainment. I have, somewhere, a VHS tape where Apple talk of the home computer as a both Nick Negroponte's digital butler (handling diary, shopping lists and such like) and an entertainment centre. Seemed bizarre at the time.
I hope he's left a team that can continue to promote the values he brought to Apple. His way of presenting cannot, of course, be reproduced: that's how these things work. I hope he died with a sense of achievement and happiness, and not in great pain. Ranulph On 6 Oct 2011, at 08:16, Jason Davies wrote: > Members may want to say something about Steve Jobs here.
