[quote=Anonymous]I'm not a techie at all and I don't know anything about Jobs's personal life, but I think you have to recognize that he was an extraordinary business leader who left his mark on the economy and culture in a profound way. I was astonished that my 12-y.o. (also not a big techie) knew who he was and asked, "Now who'll invent cool stuff?" Also, an interesting comment from my high school senior, who's in the throes of applying to colleges: "Do you know he dropped out of college after one semester?"" As far as philanthropy, I believe that Jobs started a foundation some time ago, but abandoned it because he felt he couldn't devote himself to it sufficiently. I think that's an indication of the kind of person he was -- he couldn't do something unless he was giving it his full attention and energy. It will be interesting to see what his will provides and what his family chooses to do in terms of charitable giving. [/quote]
