I'm so happy that I've gotten to use so many great Apple products that he had a hand in bringing to the market, from the Apple Iic in 1984 to the iMac, iPad, iPhone, and Macbook Air that I use on a daily basis. My life has been richer because of his inspiration.

I'm shocked and saddened by his passing at much much too young an age.
