3. I don't think it's ever been up for debate that Steve Jobs was an egotistical
ass and that he was brutal to employees in the search for perfection.

As for his health decisions, he had pancreatic cancer. No one gets out of that alive, ever. So if he made some decisions to try and prolong his life that weren't in line with your expectations, well that was his business. Desperation and all...he was still a person who wanted to see his kids graduate high school. I don't begrudge anyone doing what ever they can in that situation.

Personally I've always been a mac fan and user. But i've never felt any need to identify with or approve of Steve Jobs to justify using the equipment that best served my needs. We were fortunate to have the end results of his vision in the products. Imagine if there were no Steve Jobs, only a bill gates...
