jesse_the_kSteve Jobs steps down. From his resignation letter: "I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come. Here's the NPR story. He's probably quite ill.
I began playing Lunar Lander (a black and white simulation with a little bit of gravity) on an Apple II Plus in 1983. I joined an Apple II software company and wore many hats, including producing large print documentation with Apple IIe plugged into a LaserWriter. (We wrote the crude driver in house.) Later I connected the Apple to a Fat Mac for a slightly more sophisticated publishing system.
Thanks in part to Steve Jobs' charismatic drive, I've been using well-designed, capable, and adaptable tools for almost three decades. Thank you, Steve.
