I'm sad to hear this.

Jobs was a true trailblazer and I can appreciate that, even though I've never owned an Apple product or even had much of a desire to do so.

The computer world we know today could not have existed without his leadership and influence.

A sad day. Visionary is the only word I can sum Mr. Jobs with. His passing will truly have an impact. We can all hope that can be said for each of us.
