Yahoo is reporting that Steve Jobs has died. Can't get any other confirmation at this time on the net.

Re: Steve Jobs ???
Yeah...ABC News site has the obit as well...two page article. A bit surprising...thought he was in better health than he apparently was.

Love him or not, this guy was a major force in the technology world and, especially the last few years, almost singlehandedly changed the way that most end users experience tech. RIP Steve.

I seem to remember hearing he had health issues a little ways back, but I didn't realize it was this serious.

He's been fighting pancreatic cancer for 2 years. The 1-year survival rate is about 25% and by 5 years the rate drops to 6%. In short, he wasn't going to survive this disease for long.DeadReborn wrote:I seem to remember hearing he had health issues a little ways back, but I didn't realize it was this serious.

Quite sad. I will say, the first computer we had at my home was an Apple. We got an Apple IIC with a monochrome monitor (orange only) just before Christmas 1 year.
The first thing I actually got for it that Christmas was a game from Infocom called "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hitchh ... uter_game)
Played the heck out of that along with another game by Strategic Simulations, Inc. (SSI) called "Phantasie"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantasie
So thank you Mr. Jobs for the memories and God Bless!
Perhaps, you might take a stroll down memory lane in honor of Apple and Mr. Jobs today, so for those of you interested, I offer the fantastic Infocom text adventure game is available for free in a much updated flash version over at the BBC with graphics and other such things. Remember the 80s, Remember Apple, Here is the link:
