and then maybe make mistakes and get somebody like John Sculley, Mike Spindler or (shudder) Gil Amelio, who will all claim to be better than Jobs, take all the stock options he had, and demand much much more in actual salary than his 1 dollar, and finally run the company to ignominy.topicolo said:Of course, that leaves Apple with $74.75 Million left over to buy more talent.
i don't think anybody will disagree that these three above named are the sole reason Apple faces such a struggle it does today. The biggest mistake Jobs did in his life was when he requested (!) Sculley to take over the CEO position way back in the 80s. if only he had been the sole chief of Apple all these years (like Gates of MS), we might have been in a better world, technologically speaking.
