I join the world today in mourning the passing of a great inventor and a computer genius, Steve Jobs on 06 October 2011. His accomplishments are legendary and his legacy will be remembered for generations to come. Macintosh, iPod,iTune,iPad and iPhone are Apple products brought to us through the collaboration ,innovation, vision and efforts of Steve Jobs.

The outpourings of tributes the world over for Steve is just amazing. He is indeed the Apple of the world's eye.
"Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me… Going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful… that's what matters to me."
What a remarkable man!
Thank you Steve, we will miss you.
