[Tfug] Steve Jobs has passed away

[erich]

Yes,
     I remember going to TFUG meetings, and seeing some TFUG-ers
showing off their iPhones, so there is no denying his influence as a 
marketing
genius even over our crowd.
      You're talking to a guy who likes to build his own systems under 
Gentoo
and build/configure kernels. I linux that's possible to do, but I can 
see how the
average Apple customer would cringe at the thought of that.
