I just saw this on CNN. It says that he wants to stay on as Chairman of the board.

I was barely a month old when this happened, but I won't lie, I tear up a bit at this video. :lol:

I owned that Mac, and loved it. After the long and winding road Apple has taken to become the world's most highly valued tech company, the visionary status of Mr. Jobs cannot be disputed.

I just hope Apple updates the Mac Pro soon!

How very cool and a bit poignant.

EDIT: (And I was a LOT older than one month!) :(

Yep! I shudder when I remember that my later, 1986 Mac+ system cost over $6,000 incl a 20mB hard drive, 25mB tape backup that didn't work right - ever and an ImageWriter II printer.
