September 2009,
Good morning. Thank you. I'm very happy to be here today with you all. As some of you may know, about five months ago I had a liver transplant, so I now have the liver of a mid-20s person who died in a car crash and was generous enough to donate their organs. I wouldn't be here without such generosity. I hope all of us can be as generous and elect to become organ donors.
I'd like to take a moment and thank everybody in the Apple community for the heartfelt support I got, too. It really meant a lot. I'd also like to especially thank Tim Cook and the entire executive team of Apple. They really rose to the occasion and ran the company very ably in that difficult period, so thank you guys. Let's give them a round of applause.
I'm vertical. I'm back at Apple. Loving every day of it. I'm getting to work with our incredibly talented teams to come up with some great new products for you all in the future. So it's wonderful, and thank you.
