While his passing is sad (as is anyone's who has family and friends) I find the credits he's been given even sadder. The man was a very clever marketting and saleman. No Apple product was ever particularly revolutionary (infact 90% or more of the time it was at best traileng edge). The mans main claim to fame was being able to sell ice to eskimos and having them think they need it. Quite unfortunate that the real truth is bastardised in the name of selling things to people, even if it is quite apt (parallels apple quite closely).
