When I heard that Steve Jobs had stepped down as CEO of Apple, I was on a remote section of U.S. Highway 15 in northern Pennsylvania on my way to Toronto. I found out via the device that Jobs put into my hand, even though he didn't sell it directly to me -- the iPhone.
Some might be loathe to admit it, but Jobs has had an impact on all of us -- from the most loyal Apple fan to people such as my husband, who is the love of my life and a diehard Linux user. When he showed me the latest version of Ubuntu in July, the first thing I thought was of all the Apple influences I could see in the program.
We knew the era would end, and really, 14 years
