Dear WAMUGers, Although it was inevitable it was a very big shock to hear the news of Steve Jobs resignation as CEO. As a long time user of Apple computers I have developed a love for the company and stood fast by them when many of my friends abandoned the platform during the great push by MS. The return of Steve at the head of the company gave a new impetus, his vision and positiveness did a lot to place our beloved company where it is now. I guess that because of his positive influence, and having seen how he brought the company back to be the leader and recongnised as such by the consumers, there is this slight fear that by his departure Apple might loose its impetus, vision and excellence. Life is what it is, we all have to go at one time whether it is in retirement or to the other side. Nonetheless it is still hard to come to grips with it.
I will remain a supporter of this platform because I like the Apple philosophy and I thank Steve for all he has done and wish him all the very best. Kind regards, Philippe C 2011/8/25 Brett Curtis <br...@masterwindowcleaners.com>: > Truth be told a lot of us are probably being selfish in wanting to retain > Steve for as long as possible.
