    Just saw this on the news. Very sad indeed. Definitely an icon beyond icons in our lifetime. Revolutionized so many facets of our lives today. May his vision(s) live on ....

    I got on Apple's website right as it was posted...none of the media had picked up the story yet.

    Drudge linked to it about five minutes later.

    I was taken aback more than I thought I would be. Knew he was close to death, but somehow it always comes as a shock...

    RIP.

    Fchatter? Not sure, but I'll bet his collection consisted of "one of each" ;)

    RIP Jobs...outstanding life of work continuously rocking the boat, and doing a great job of it!

    Based on the registration email I would say this was definitely not Steve Jobs.

    A pic published a month or two ago after he stepped down as CEO showed him very gaunt and thin, getting into an Audi S5.

    RIP Steve...a gift to mankind with what he came up with in his garage.

    BTW - if he was an FChatter, I am certain we'd all know it.

    I've neer seen him in a suit. Only Levis.
    I've alway been an IBM man but lusted after the dark side.

    With the edited thread listing I guess he wasn't an F-chatter after all? RIP.

    I never met him but my biz partner has been a senior exec at Apple and he said he drove a mini van at one time for a few years. No one there ever heard anything about him ever owning a ferrari, this is from what little I know about him.

    I do remember a green car he wanted to develop back in the day but put it on the shelf for more important things. I'm serious, he was going to call it the iCar.

    He HATED fast fuel guzzling cars.

    Have met him and he was mostly involved with Mercedes cars over the years. Even late in life, he was getting chauffer'd around in a black Mbz S550. Most people are familiar with his silver SL55 and before that he drove a silver S500 coupe. He was not a slow driver, either ;)
    He actually gave Mbz feedback repeatedly on what was wrong with their cars and their response was interesting but I digress. And no, he's not an Fchat member.

    Sad, sad day.
