Blimey …
THAT’S a bit …
Sudden … !
Now, I don’t know if you‘re anything of a technology fan, but I am.
Well …
More of a gadget fan, let’s put it that way.
And I’ll happily admit that I’m a Mac fan, been one for years, and intend to keep being, for as long as the budget holds out.
AHEM!
But at any rate … ?
At any rate, I’m as aware as any one of the influence of one particular member of Apple’s management team .
That he was stepping down as Apple’s Chief Executive Officer, becoming Apple’s Chairman of the Board of Directors, and handing the CEO position to former Chief Operating Officer, Tim Cook.
I was … shocked, to say the least.
After all, Jobs has been, along with Bill Gates of Microsoft, one of computing’s most recognisable figures: and, as Apple’s public face since 1997, the spokesman for the company’s much vaunted kit*.

So this kind of shocked me.
Shocked …
But didn’t exactly surprise me.
After all, his health has been notoriously iffy, for quite some time: and in a way that famously influences Apple’s share prices, whenever changes to it are announced.
But personally … ?
Well, I shocked — and mildly worried — to hear it …
But I’m thinking the company will still do well, despite Jobs’ absence from day-to-day running of the company.
He has, after all, made sure it’s in a VERY good position …
* Which I’ll happily admit, I’ve been recommending to people, ever since I got my first Mac, back in about 2002.
