And, of course, there's all that sage advice, great conversation and shot-sharing I've enjoyed on the Net with groups like this one. Jobs was certainly an IT visionary, but was also shrewd enough to hire outstanding people to back him up in depth. Whether Apple will continue to innovate at the same pace under Tim Cook remains to be seen. Best of light.
