Have you met, seen, talked with Apple's Steve Jobs?

Have you ever met, talked with, or seen Steve Jobs? Famously private, the ex-Apple CEO is far from being a social butterly. But he’s not a recluse, and he’s been around for a quite awhile. And that means: human contact.

Have you ever met, or talked with, or seen Jobs? Perhaps you saw him and his family rollerblading in downtown Cupterino, or reported to himm about a company project, or met him during negotiations with the record labels. If so, what was he like, what happened, what’s your strongest recollection of him? Share your impressions in comments to this post, or tweet, using the #Jobsnme hashtag.

We can build online a mosaic of impressions of one of the great American CEOs, who resigned this week. He’s been elected chairman of the board and Chief Operating Officer Tim Cook will take over the chief executive job.
