People have so many varying opinions on him, but there is no question that he had a profound affect on virtually everyone's lives. Not too many people can say that.
Also noticed on ESPN that Al Davis, long time owner of the Oakland Raiders, has apparently died. He was 82.

I saw on the news today that Steve Jobs had left behind approximately 4 years of blueprints for new Apple products. Few if any people have the vision and drive that Jobs had.
I look at my children and grandchildrens toys and find that he had a hand in most of them.
I do believe history will hold him in high regard.
I just picked up on net news about Davis.
