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.

Post a Comment
I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
