<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana>It's not only sadness that is felt but the loss
of someone who was willing to take huge risks in developing advancing/useful
technology. Not everything Apple did/does was successful, but the ones
that were were truly fine products and advanced the state of the art of user
friendliness/orientation. Jobs/Apple learned from their failures to go on
to developing even better products.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana>Both my wife Linda and I have several Apple
products. I am currently waiting to see Windows 8 before finally
deciding to drop the MS line altogether in favor of the Apple line.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana>I enjoyed the Apple TV ads where actors
portraying Gates and Jobs had a number of friendly but telling face
offs.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana>My iPods go through a Headroom amp/stereo
re-processor into a set of Sennheiser headphones. The sound is superb,
better than any of expensive stereo systems I have owned, thanks to
the iPod DAC. The ease of use of the iPod with iTunes as the master
librarian is great. The iPod was probably the most important paradigm
changer in the sales and delivery of music in our times.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana>Thank you, Steve Jobs.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana>I am not certain that Apple can continue its
leader of the pack position in advancing user oriented technology without
Jobs.</FONT></DIV>
