This thread records the moment many of us learned Steve Jobs had died (October 5, 2011). For readers looking back: he was 56, co-founded Apple in 1976, returned to lead the company in the late 1990s, and resigned as CEO on August 24, 2011 with Tim Cook named his successor. His public fight with a rare health condition was well known at the time.

Posts here — like on loving Apple products, calling him an inspiration, and saying his thoughts live on — reflect the two sides of his legacy. On one hand Jobs drove product direction and public vision; on the other, those products were built by large teams. The practical legacies are easy to spot: modern personal computing interfaces, the iPod/iTunes model for digital media, the iPhone and App Store ecosystems, the tablet market, and Pixar changing animated films.

For reliable context and first-person perspective, consult his 2005 Stanford commencement address and Walter Isaacson’s authorized biography. Apple’s official statements from October 2011 are primary sources for the company’s response. If preserving memory of this period or of Apple hardware, make sure device data is backed up and original documentation is kept with any archived machines.
