Steve's Letter to Apple:
Team,
I am sure all of you saw my letter last week sharing something very personal with the Apple community. Unfortunately, the curiosity over my personal health continues to be a distraction not only for me and my family, but everyone else at Apple as well. In addition, during the past week I have learned that my health-related issues are more complex than I originally thought.
In order to take myself out of the limelight and focus on my health, and to allow everyone at Apple to focus on delivering extraordinary products, I have decided to take a medical leave of absence until the end of June.
I have asked Tim Cook to be responsible for Apple's day to day operations, and I know he and the rest of the executive management team will do a great job. As CEO, I plan to remain involved in major strategic decisions while I am out. Our board of directors fully supports this plan.
I look forward to seeing all of you this summer.
Steve

Well, Steve should take alot of time off. He pay's his executive management team to do a job, but he must think without him they will fall.
When a CEO lets the people he pays to do thier job, all will come out better. IMO

Apple's Tim Cook is not from Mississippi ...... he's from Alabama.
A graduate of Robertsdale High School and
Auburn University.
It is for this latter reason that I send my condolences to all Apple owners and shareholders.
