Steve Jobs, I hardly knew ya...

This is big news...wow...today is the day that Steve Jobs announced to the world that he is resigning from Apple as their CEO.  Sure, he's planning to stay on as the chairman of the board, but for all intents and purposes his run at Apple is over.  The reins are now turned over to his planned successor...former COO Tim Cook.

What does this mean for Apple?  Probably not a lot.  They're on the right track, Jobs has set the proper course for the organization...the innovation isn't going to just cease.  Cook & company will carry on.  But this is sad news.  Ever since I was wooed into the Apple family by my wife when I purchased my first - and only - Macbook (which I'm typing this on right now) back in March of 2009, I've been a full-fledged Apple believer.  An iPod followed, then an iPad, though this and the follow-up iPad2 purchase became purchases for my wife as I still am not sold on a tablet...too much in love with my Macbook.  Then there's the iPhone, God's gift to...well, to anyone smart enough to buy one.  Droid was good, but the iPhone is a new world.  Love it...love it...can't live without it.

Now I've gotten off track a little.  What are your thoughts on Apple's next steps?  Will they miss a beat without Jobs?  Will they remain the leader...the incredibly innovative money-making machine that they have been for so long?  Will I still find my happy place inside the Apple store at the Fashion Show mall on the Las Vegas strip?

And what about Jobs?  This won't be a Brett Favre thing.  I believe he's truly done this time.  This is more like Magic after his health situation.  Retired, back for the all-star game, and then off into the sunset.  Seriously, Jobs health is not good....and that's sad.  We all should be praying for him...I know I am.  And I wish him the best and I hope that Apple continues to stay on track without him.
