It is always sad when someone dies, particularly someone who is a public figure and with whom we can to a certain extent punctuate our own lives. It is also sad that the cult of celebrity leads to much sackcloth and ashes (the well known saint, Princess Di anyone?) and overreaction. I've never bought an Apple product, not because they are not good, but because they have flaws I can't live with, but I can still say RIP Steve. And mean it. Then move on.
