I wasn’t there to know for sure; however, the hospice nurse in the room swears his last words were “Oh WOW!!!” They keep you so drugged up that there isn’t a lot of pain; so, I prefer to believe it was WOW & NOT ow!!!

@LadyMarissa So he went warp speed? Or to a higher dimension? Or he experienced the super-natural?

@RedDeerGuy1 Although from the stories I heard about what a bad person he was, I wonder how accurate the report of his last words was. Still, it sounds to me like he made it into a higher dimension & saw the beauty that lies within!!!

@ragingloli Given his circumstances & options, I do believe that he would have been wise enough to switch to Windows. He couldn’t afford to be loyal to the bitter end!!! ;)

He was said to have been Buddhist and believed in the afterlife.

Eh, Buddhism doesn’t really have much in the way of belief in an afterlife as such. Some branches might, as it’s a fairly syncrestic religion and is easy to graft on to whatever beliefs you already have. But by and large the afterlife is not a significant component of Buddhist philosophy except, perhaps, as a brief layover before one’s next incarnation (refered to as the Bardo, or “intermediate state”, in Tibetan Buddhism).

At any rate Steve Jobs may have claimed Buddhism, but from everything I’ve read by, from and of the man I see little to suggest that he took the Buddhist teachings to heart.

@Darth_Algar You just answered a question about a novel title I’ve never understood.

^^ Exactimundo. It hadn’t raised high enough on the list for me to Google but I was perplexed.

Haven’t read that book myself, so I have no idea about it, I’m just kinda aware that it’s out there.

In the end, he lost to Bill Gates, because he died from PC.
