> Almost like being able to recall where you were when 9/11 happened.

Is this sarcasm that I'm not picking up on? I literally can't remember what year SJ died. I can't even remember what generation iPhone was his last.

I remember the precise moment because on that day I was in my office at 1 Infinite Loop in Cupertino. It was bizarre. A mass of mourners swamped the building in under an hour.

I never said do you remember what year Jobs died. Nor did I ask what generation of iPhone was his last. I don't remember those either.
