Lots of us knew it had to be soon, even if we didn't want it to be. He looked really unhealthy in June.
I was off by a few months, but here's a snippet from my Ameritrade account:
06/07/2011 12:37:38 Sold 69 AAPL @ 333.3
Granted, I hedged by only selling some of my shares. My thinking was to take profits on long-term gains, and then re-invest again if the stock dips after this announcement. AAPL will increase in value if there's a dip – no question in my mind.
Yes, I realize that it's somewhat tasteless to discuss the stock when Steve is clearly struggling with his health. I reconciled that issue a long time ago – Apple is a business, and a group of human beings at the same time.
The first thing I did when I heard the news is send Steve a thank you note.

Really, why are we dragging your brokerage account into this discussion? Stay classy, HN.
Edit: Oh, duh, because you still own stock in them. See above.
