Good evening dear WAMUGers, My sincere condolences to all who have been touched by Steve JOBS and appreciate the great work he has achieved and what he has done for the Apple world. I have followed him via his career at Apple and have always had a great admiration for him.
To our dear Ronni, thank you for sharing this very private insight into your life and the inspiration Steve Jobs gave you to find your path in life. I am very sad too like so many but I will keep such a wonderful memory of this great man. Yes, he certainly has touched many, many people. May he be at peace now that his suffering is over. Kind regards, Philippe C. 2011/10/6 Andrew Schox <[email protected]> > > Ronni, > > Apart from your occasional very helpful advice on this list, I don't know you > from a bar of soap. > > However, you are a champion, and thank you for sharing your story with us.
