Steve Job's medical leave...

[Bryancd]

I sure hope he's ok, but I don't think we will ever see him back at the company. Although he can't be replaced, it's very important for Apple to demonstrate that there can actually be an Apple without him. They have such a deep bench of talent that product innovation will continue but it won't be the same without him. I wish him al the best and hope he can recover.

Good for him to take this step and hopefully get 100% again.  When it comes down to it, your health is much more important than any job.  I'm sure Apple can still move forward without him around.

I hope it wasn't the shock of me finally buying an Apple product!

I think you're right Bryan, I'd be surprised to see him back too.

I hope all the best for Steve Jobs and for his complete recovery.
he is a true "American Pioneer" in his vision, tenacity and audacity.

Could use a few more like him.
