In 1983, Steve Jobs, a 27-year-old multimillionaire, introduced the world’s first personal home computer with a mouse driven gui, called the Apple Lisa.

According to TMZ.com, this photo of the Apple co-founder and former CEO was taken today — two days after he resigned as the head honcho of Apple.

The post title refers to a Mark Twain quote that Jobs recited at a Apple keynote meeting after a media outlet mistakenly published his obituary in 2008.

In 2004, Jobs announced that he had been diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in his pancreas — one of the deadliest forms of cancer.

That same year, Jobs underwent a Whipple procedure to remove half of his pancreas, gall bladder, bile duct and duodenum (the tube at the bottom of the stomach that empties the stomach contents into the small intestine). The Whipple procedure was once considered radical surgery, and most patients died after the complicated operation.

Following his surgery, Jobs took several leaves of absences from Apple to focus on his health.

In 2009, Jobs underwent a liver transplant. He returned to work in 2010 to launch the revolutionary iPad tablet computer. In January 2011, Jobs announced his final leave of absence for medical reasons. Despite the leave, he came back in March to launch the iPad 2.

In his resignation letter on August 24, Jobs said, the day had finally come when he could no longer perform his duties.
