This is supposedly the letter Steve submitted:

Letter from Steve Jobs

CUPERTINO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--To the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community:

I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.

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.

As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.

I believe Apple’s brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.

I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.

Steve

It was always in the "future." The "future" has a way of happening before everyone is expecting it. Are you ready? wink.gif

I wish him the best, but it doesn't sound good for him.

Maybe we could have a "Get Well, Steve!" banner? wink.gif

If you'll allow me a little latitude, I read something this morning that made an impression on me; "When the path gets rocky, God provide better shoes." I just hope Steve takes advantage of some 'better shoes.' yes.gif

While I don't think Apple will collapse anytime soon, I wonder how much effect this will have in 'negotiations' with media suppliers. Steve may have been ill but he seemed to have pretty good at twisting other people's "arms!" wink.gif

First photo's after retirement. No idea as to why he may be wearing a dress. No idea at all.

You can see the telltale "Photoshop" shadow around the neckline...  Pretty sure this is NOT a valid photo..
