Apple's Tim Cook, Steve Jobs' fill-in, a Robertsdale High and Auburn grad - al.com

Apple's Tim Cook, Steve Jobs' fill-in, a Robertsdale High and Auburn grad - al.com: "Stepping in for Steve Jobs is a tough gig.

But Robertsdale High School graduate Tim Cook may be up to it.

Certainly, Jobs thinks so. The company's high profile co-founder left Cook in charge when cancer surgery forced Jobs to step aside for two months in 2004. With Jobs' health again an issue, he's leaving Apple until June. And the 48-year-old Cook, chief operating officer since 2005, was left running the maker of Macintosh computers, iPods and iPhones."
