I'm sure my comments will be echoed here and also in conversations between apple users for years to come. I felt a great loss today when I heard the news today. I have never met Steve before but I feel as if I knew him as a friend, and even though he never met me, I feel as if he knew me personally. I attribute these feelings to his ability to share his dreams and creations honestly and on a deep humanistic level which made a connection between he and I. His products and creations were 'magical' because he was able to show me why HE thought they were great, and because he was genuine and honest in displaying his passion for his products, I believe this is why he was successful in convincing us to buy apple products. My deepest condolences go to his immediate family and to his apple family. Steve will live on through his achievements just like Henry Ford, Thomas Edison and other great inventors in history, and I will remember him for his ability not only to create, but his ability to make me feel like he was my friend.
Thank you Steve!
