Steve Jobs passed away!

I was absolutely shocked when I heard this last night.
Of course I knew the man was ill, but still so very young and so shortly after he was still very active in the company.

In my mind Steve Jobs is one of the greatest technological pioneers of the 20th and 21st century. Can you imagine a world without Macs? We would almost certainly be universally Windows users, at least with Macs around there is a genuine choice of hardware/software before the move to Intel.

I have used Macs since 2003 and have never had one fail on me.
Not one corrupt hard disk [touch wood], no virus, no system came to a stand-still. In those 8 years I've had all of 3 kernel panics. Not bad when you consider how regularly people have experienced BSOD on Windoze.

Apple now really has its work cut out.
Steve Jobs WAS the face of Apple.
I feel sorry for Tim, he's got a hard task now.

R.I.P. Steve.

True Amigas are 68k then. PPC was never adopted by commodore for Amiga os3.1.

True but Commodore went long before PPCs became mainstream computer processors. Apple were still on 68k when CBM went.

I think naturally, Commodore would have moved to PPC, even if it was a couple of years after Apple. It's the natural progression...
