Rumors About Health Of Apple Boss
Jan. 5 2009, Published 7:03 a.m. ET
Steve Jobs, the one-time wunderkind co-founder of Apple, says he's not ailing.
"As many of you know, I have been losing weight throughout 2008," the 53 year-old Jobs said Monday in a letter addressing the Apple community. "The reason has been a mystery to me and my doctors."
After cancelling a speaking gig and going for tests, Jobs reports "my doctors think they have found the cause -- a hormone imbalance that has been "robbing" me of the proteins my body needs to be healthy.
"My doctors expect it will take me until late this spring to regain (weight,)" he said, then added, "I will be the first one to step up and tell our board of directors if I can no longer continue to fulfill my duties as Apple's CEO."
