This is very sad news. I remember first using Apple Macs at college in the early 1990s, but it wasn’t until the late 1990s that I used them professionally. Since then I’ve owned numerous Macs, and currently have two, along with two iPods and an iPhone. For better or worse, I now can’t imagine a world without Apple. I’ve never owned a PC and never willingly used one. Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple and its charismatic leader, will be sorely missed.
