Thank you, Steve Jobs, for being an inspiration to us

Apple will never be the same without Steve Jobs as its CEO. Granted, it has good people within but Apple -- Apple is Steve Jobs! Here is the just released letter from Steve Jobs:

PRESS RELEASE
Letter from Steve Jobs

August 24, 2011

To the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community:

I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know.

Unfortunately, that day has come. I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee. As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.

I believe Apple's brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.

I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.

Steve

If the Apple community is a group or set of metal detectors gold is what they found in Steve Jobs. I really wish the guy well.
