We have to remember that the two, biggest products that Apple ever released (short of the iPhone), and arguably the two products that "saved" Apple were not designed by Steve:
1) The iMac
2) The iPod
Jonathan Ive designed both.
I think Apple's got a fine chance of moving forward without Steve, but damn, I wish the man all the best and all the health in the world. We don't think much about illness until it strikes someone close, or someone important. It just goes to show that no matter who you are, famous or infamous, rich or poor, we're all subject to health issues that can cut our time short and that no amount of money or success changes that. It makes that gap between us "normal" people and those who have achieved worldwide success a little smaller.
It's tragic and sad, but it's not over yet... and here's to you, Steve. You changed my life and the way I look at everything... with a freakin' computer.
