Steve Jobs has passed away. What a difference in all of our lives he has made. It was due to his forward thinking, in part, that we are able to have this wonderful Quilting Board. He will be missed.

I had just heard it on the news, I didn't realize he was that sick with the cancer. He will definitely be missed.

Yes, I just heard it on tv. Pancreatic cancer is such a fearsome cancer to battle. They said he fought for 8 years. We will miss his ability to see the possibilities in our future. :cry:

As my son says, lets hope he had a vault of great ideas passed down to those currently in charge at Apple.

apple may not have made the technology that is in our lives, but they certainly have made the technology better through the unrelenting quest of this man and the team he hired. here's to you Steve, and thanks for all you did. you'll be missed.

He left the company in very capable hands. A great man and a great organization.
