When you have pancreatic cancer your odds are that you will die in perhaps less than a year. This is a killer! Jobs was lucky he had made it after his transplant for 7 years. Michael Landon, Donna Reed, and Patrick Swayzee all died from this horrific illness which there is no cure as yet.
I been busy reading all those articles about Jobs.
What I find incredible is people from all over the world are mourning as well. I mean would Gates get this kind of attention ?
Yes, he would ! There'd be one BIG PARTY !!!
(joking of course !)
I think Gates' greatness come from what he did OUTSIDE MS. All the support of World Health and humanitarian causes. Inside MS (esp 1985-95) he was a ruthless, unethical azzhole !

I liked the quote Nucleus put up, here is another line, probably from the same speech (which I had my students read and comment on as part of a lesson a few years back):
"Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose."

It occurs to me today that in some ways Steve still lives. I have a little piece of him right here in front of me as I type this on my Mac. I'll carry him around in my pocket today and use him this week at the studio to do my photography. Thanks Steve.
For an interesting read minus all the petty trolls.. go here to the Apple discussion boards.
