Dammit I wanted to start this thread.

Anyway, watch Apple stock tank tommorrow. Jobs is probably dying of cancer.

Ive gotten by my whole life without any Apple stuff, guess I will keep making it OK.

The last time he quit in the late 80's or early 90's apple about went under. He came back and so did apple. What will happen this time?

I had always heard him and billy boy started out by dumpster diving at Xerox. They tossed out some stupid idea about a computer user interface...what were they thinking we make copiers???
