[AusNOG] Steve Jobs has passed away

[Roddy Strachan]

Very true Chris.

Many years of being a PC person, I switched to Apple years ago, never looked
back.  The products are just so simple and easy to use, even my kids can
pick up an iphone or ipad and just start using it.

It will be interesting to see how Apple goes in the future.
