    He must have been hell to work for, but his attention to detail made Apple products great.

    I seriously doubt Apple will be able to keep it up.
    I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

      He delegated. He wasn't micromanaging.

        Turns out this was all a mistake. This is from Jobs' "resignation" letter...

        I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.
        But what he was trying to type was:

        I hereby reign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.
        That's right -- the damned auto-correct on his iPad2 forced him out of that sweet gig!

              On the one hand, Jobs was a perfectionist involved in every product detail. So his retirement is significant. On the other hand, a lot of people with long positions will be anxious to see their value evaporate too quickly, so I suspect they'll support prices until they can get their size in discreetly.
