I love my IPod. It is easy to use and carries a ton of music and I like that it is available in purple.

I am shallow, sue me.

I used the original Apple computers when I was in high school and at the start of college.

I hope that Mr. Jobs is stepping down in good health and has decided that he wants to enjoy his family and friends and no longer wants to deal with the day to day stress of running a massive company.

His company has created a series of great products and has one of the best PR departments I know of. They found a way to create a product that is good and expensive but that millions of people want to use. That is impressive.

I think we can look at any of the great business tycoons and point to actions taken that will anger us while also finding things that they did that were highly innovative. History will point to some of Jobs less then stellar moments but he will be remembered for his innovation, talent, and drive.

And I seriously doubt there is going to be much written about his role in setting e-book prices.
