Looking at the presentation you'll see: * We do not need to replace Steve Jobs' photo -- we have another photo of a (relatively) unknown older computer user. * The photo was used as an example of the *increasing number of older users* (not listing business leaders per se). I agree that the coolness factor isn't diminished. However, the point of the slide is that older users are online and even those you think of as cool are getting older. It seems that the fact that he died relatively young counters the whole point of the slide really. I'm missing what we gain by leaving that photo in that context -- thinking about the *context of the overall presentation and the specific point of that slide*. Some people will have an uncomfortable reaction to his picture and mention in this context. Is it worth causing such discomfort? (plus, for some it might side track the message of the presentation) ~Shawn
