Poor guy. It's amazing he is still with us after all this time. Pancreatic cancer is not usually that forgiving.

Only 6% would be pure pleasure for Citigroup share holders.
Citigroup fell 1.37, or 23%, to 4.53.
Pandit is apparently healthy. Go figure.

Yeah, I concur, skip. The really sad thing is that you know that no matter what is wrong with him, it's being downplayed. So, it doesn't look good. He looks bad.

I'm a big apple fan against since I had so many problems with my Ibook G4 that Apple is replacing it with a brand new laptop, even though I'm long out of warranty.
As for Steve. I wish him well, and that includes whether he lives or not. Some people seem destined to blast into life, do big things, and then move on before the usual period of rest and decline.
Peace

Everybody hates Gates and loves Jobs. I do pray for Steve, don't get me wrong, cancer sucks and I pray for the man. But...
remember Bill Gates wrote code for Jobs and Woz BITD, remember Applesoft software written by Bill Gates? They just went different directions eventually. Gates isn't such a prick that people make him out to be.
neither are Jobs and Wozniak. God bless ya Steve! Get well.

What's the justice in Jobs leaving the planet at 53, when Mr. Roark ("velcome to Fahhntasy Island") leaving at 88? Seriously, they just found Chromium 6 in Sunnyvale, a town near Jobs'. Silicon Valley is fulla cancer.

Not to mention, Sully that Roark/Khan went hand in hand with The Prisoner/PatrickMcGoohan into the next show.
Doesn't look so good for Mr Jobs, Pancreatic C took my dad in 6 months from diagnosis, but that was 30 yrs ago.
Good luck, Steve Jobs and thanks.
