    Even if we take Steve's health out of the equation and make a statement that he'll live fine for another 40 years. I do think that they are making the right choice and trying to show that Steve isn't the only person that brings vision to apple. He may be the focus for the company and that's fine. But by the same token I think Apple needs to show that all their eggs are in one basket. They need to show that Apple is capable of progressing without Steve or any one person at the helm. I mean this is a huge corporation. It's not Steven in his garage cranking out these wonderful toys. While Apple fans may always chant the "In Steve We Trust" mantra. Apple is in it's best interest to shift some of that focus off of Steve and apply it to Apple as a whole, which is what this even was starting to do and I applaud them for it.
